v1.2 is functionally the same as 1.1, and is the official 1WSW version of NT.
Dr. Tom was upset (to put it mildly) that someone actually put out a new NT
using the sources he's been giving to anyone who has a mailbox.  So, to pacify
him, I let him put out 1.2, which is the same as 1.1, but is 'by 1WSW'.  Note
however there's no functional advantage to 1.2; it's simply a sector-edited
version of 1.1 which removes my claim on the portions of it which I coded
so 1WSW can be in the clear selling any 2.0 version (yeah right).
