Amiga PetMate v0.8.3

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHAT IS IT?

PetMate is a C64 PETSCII art editor for the Amiga, rewritten from scratch
in C89, using native Amiga APIs.  It runs on any Amiga with a 68020 or
better processor and AmigaOS 3.x.

It is a parallel reimplementation of the original PetMate by nurpax:
  https://github.com/nurpax/petmate
and the petmate9 fork by wbochar:
  https://github.com/wbochar/petmate9

Same spirit, same .petmate file format (JSON), new body made of C and
Amiga magic.  No JavaScript.  No Electron.  No 47-megabyte runtime.

  experience on your Amiga.
- Load and save .petmate project files, compatible with the original
  PetMate application.
- Export to ASM, BASIC, PRG (standalone C64 executable), GIF, IFF/ILBM.
- Import from images (PNG, GIF, BMP...) -- auto-detects borders and
  character alignment.
- Import from ASM-export PRG files -- reads the 6510 machine code to
  locate the data block.

  Italiano, Dansk, Polski.

 Update 0.8 -> 0.8.3

- You can change characters with keyboard arrows, and colors with numpad.
- Help window is Asynchronous again, could cause bugs, important correction.
- minor corrections here and there.
- Amigaguide updated.

 - Will launch under OS3.9 and derivates... stability is then questionned (not tested much on OS3.9).
 - Import Image from bitmap works clearly better. Will try to take margin in count.
 - Help using command multiview may be found better.
