New snapshots available.  New features: "ternary"-operator for
format-strings $F, %s, %T; max screenwidth ('<') condition for
format-strings. Connection type (IPv4 / IPv6) info added to
connection-infp-page ('J') (this may not work with TLI, EXCELAN
or DECNET - tests welcome ,-). Some code cleanup incl. small memory
usage improvements by avoiding huge fixed len buffers.
