+    + new variable no_auto_gnd. If set, the automatic replacing of gnd by 0
+      is disabled
+    + new compatibility modes for 'set behavior=??'. ps sets PSPICE, lt sets

       instead of fftw
     + command setseed to set the seed value for the random number generator
     + option seed=[val|random]
     + variable inputdir to remeber and retrieve the last input file directory
