[time-nuts] Stable Z38XX

Gents,

I just uploaded a new version of Z38XX with the following improvements:

1) 115200 Baud setting bug removed

2) Should now recognize JACKSON LABS products and use partial/changed SCPI
command set on those (Need feedback on that!)

3) Possible bug in status screen interpretation removed

4) Can display a nice nixie-clock like window like the one attached (only on
devices that supply an answer to PTIM:TCOD? command i.e. the real Z-devices,
no Fury/FireFly/GCRU)

5) Can compute a linear fit to the EFC value and compute a relative OCXO
frequency drift from that due to a user supplied value that constitutes the
assumed relation between EFC and frequency. 

Enjoy
Ulrich Bangert
