addcontour, bitmaps and other LUA bits

[robin.cornelius@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Dear Jiri Vecerka and group

Very well spotted, I didn't realise you could select an arc contour! 
Yes there is problem here I will have a look and make the necessary 
modification to the lua code to solve this.

As for the catch nearest node, the lua commands already do this, in 
the pre processor anyway!
The commands for selecting objects nodes,labels,arcs or segments all 
run their x and y parameters through a select closest function as do 
the commands for adding segments and arc segments.
However it is not possible to select the closest node in the post-
processor while creating contours, which would be useful.

Thankyou for your bug descovery and sugestions, they are very welcome!

Dear group,

I have also removed my older versions of femm, from the files 
section, with the lua code as these are superceeded by Dave's latest 
beta release.


Dear Keith Gregory and group,
For reference the bitmap saving code used by lua uses the default 
bitmap file headers used by visual c++ 6.0 this I believe is the v6 
header which may not be compatible with windows 95 and some NT4.0's 
depending on service pack. I am quite supprised that word 97 cannot 
load them however but my version cannot load it either(i'v just 
checked). I assume that office 97 is still using the win95 libs.May 
be i should drop back a few file versions to increase compatibility.

The pictures do not need to be bitmaps. I just knew how to save as 
bitmaps, it is the easy option. If anybody has recomendations on the 
file format to use, let me know.

Hope you will keep testing the new versions as they appear !!
