RTC v3.19 released

[Mark DiVecchio]

I have put v3.19 of the Remote Train Control program on my RTC web page. A compiled
version and the source code (for two different compilers - see notes) are there.

Here are the release notes:

v 0.3.19.0

0. This is mostly a maintenance release where I created one set of source
code which would compile under BCB4.0 (my orginal IDE) and CB10.1 (the lastest
IDE from Embarcadero). Thanks to the Kevin Rice for leading the way on this.
The two source zip files are:

Remote_Control 3.19.0 BCB4.0 Maintenance Release.zip --- the RTC source
compiled with Borland C++ Builder 4.0 and Abakus v6.51.

Remote_Control 3.19.0 BCB4.0 Maintenance Release.zip --- The RTC source
compiled with Embarcadero C++ Builder 10.1 Berlin and Abakus v8.00.

1. I added a debug mode for the Engine Sound Knob and Idle Sound Knob. Now
in debug mode, you can explore all of the 255 values for these knobs and
see what sounds come out. In particular, starting at engine sound 80 are
the clips for PFA.

Some of the engine sounds value cause a continuous repeat of the sound.
When that happens, other sounds will not play. I don't know how to turn this
off other than pressing the "Whistle/Horn" button.

Note: in non debug mode, the Engine Sounds Knob sends commands that correspond
with the Engine Sounds as listed on the hotkeys. When sound 1 is selected,
the command n177 is sent and so on. In debug mode the knob setting is
sent unchanged to TIU. If sound 1 is selected in debug mode, n1 is sent to
the TIU. The sound number corresponds to the index used by the ADPCM program.

2. Changed the Rule 17 lighting to be by engine rather than to apply to all engines.
It now also turns off the interior light when the engine starts moving. I added a
checkbox to the Operations screen.
