[Coco] New version of CASM released

[Roger Taylor]

Excellent work, Chet.

I also want to remind everybody that the Portal-9 assembly IDE for Windows 
was updated to support CASM.  Just place that .exe in your Windows 
directory, then choose "CASM" from the drop-down menu in the left panel.

Chet and I have also talked about making Portal-9 projects out of some of 
the online source codes that are available for games, etc.  An example of 
how complex a project can be is Projector-3 which is tons of source files 
that would make you scratch your head trying to build into the final 
program manually or from a real CoCo.

These Mark Data adventures are also full of separate source files that have 
me scratching my head how to compile into a working game, so I'm hoping 
Chet will make the Portal-9 project for those games so everybody can 
experience how easy it is to build a game in one click, and also go in and 
change things.... as in.... modify, alter, rewrite, etc.
