Sleizsa v0.3 (Plant)

– Addition:    Added max amount of tuned notes on the scale for both NTSC
(G3 to A#6) and PAL (A3 to C7).
– Addition:    Added the ability for the user to better control the “noise
instrument”.
– Improvement:    Included more accurate, unofficial version of MESS v0.129.1
by e5frog.  Should improve sound, large ROM support, visuals
(when implemented), and be compatible with older versions
of Windows.
– Improvement:    PAL note table is more accurate. (Thanks e5frog.)
– Improvement:  NTSC note table is more accurate.
– Change:    Removed unnecessary warm up routine and replaced it with a
clear screen routine via BIOS call.
– Optimization: Cleaned up unnecessary portions of code and made documentation
hopefully more understable.
– Fix:        Troubleshot and fixed some issues regarding the batch files
to enable the directory to be dropped and executed anywhere;
the way it should function.
