Display of time and bargrap re-swapped. I like like that ;). Start/end of bargraph have a character on Crystal....
Using a fileconf module to put all parameters in a conf file. No more hard-coded parameters (maybe one or two escaped...).
Audiocontrol code clean-up (new functions to access internal variables)
New feature: it is possible to have only the selected tracks displayed (useful when
wanting to remove specific tracks wihtout having to parse thousands of titles)


--29/04/2000 Xav
Add lang.pm which contains all the text string of the project
And modification of all project files to used it, the implementation used an hash table. Because I did not found how to export in all pakage a variable. So I call the function lang::init() who return the hash table :)

Replace affichegenre afficheartist affichetrack affichealbum bya UNIQUE fonctionaffiche who take the good hash table %sel. Before calling this function prorammers MUST choose the good hash table and after destroy %sel

--28/04/2000 Xav
Start of instalation of the debug package with the transformation
of all print to debug::trace function in order to easy choose the level of trace.

Start do place all displayed text with variable to easy translate
and to change some menu very quickly as the name of the project :)

--27/04/2000 Xav
Clean, and debug for the matrix orbital
Swap horiz bargraph and time display to
give a good sensation of the length of the bargraph.

Not very documented......
