Zap historians!

I've added Zap v1.10 to the ftp site, in case anyone's interested. This was
the first version of Zap with the ZapRedraw module - and so the first with
syntax colouring. It comes with an early version of ZapMJE, Olly Betts'
LineEditor, Bryan Scattergood's CMode, and Paul Moore's ZapUtils, as well as
the 'core' modes, and ZapBASIC.

The Zap module was about half the size it is now (100K compared to our
current 200K), there was no !Help file, and menus weren't configurable
(which came, if I remember correctly, in time for v1.20).

It probably won't work past RISC OS 3.1, but I know someone who's not
bothered upgrading past it. It's probably useful to some people with very
low memory requirements :-)

Thanks to Richard Whincup for sending me this.
