changes to v0.87:
V0.90   18.06.1995
        - Saving RAW HAM8 produced wrong output. Fixed.
        - Ask Mask-Color didn't work 100% all the time.
          Problem solved hopefully.
          
        - The sprite control word calculation for 32
          and 64 pixel wide sprites generated non-AGA
          control words - bug removed.
        
        - The "Kill" gadget shortcut had no effect -
          finally, it works
        - An "Info" gadget has been added to the
          module windows for quick reference on the
          loaders and savers.
        - Automatic and semi-automatic label generation
          implemented (assembler only so far).
        - Serious bug fixed: If you saved a brush having
          an odd with with one of the CHUNKY savers,
          the machine crashed. (Yuck)
        - Another heavy bug: Saving a link object with
          no object name crashed.
        - Finally, an installation script has been
          included to the distribution package.
        - External savers included: PCX and BMP.
        
        - Pack Colors image operator included.
        
        - The cut-frame is now kept when re-entering
          the control screen.
        - Minor bug removed that caused problems with the
          control screen and screenmode promoting programs.
