  specialized functions

  filename clashes

- Low and efficient memory usage

This version has been ready for more than 2 months but because the CS-PPC
of my A4000 died I only recently managed to have access to my Amiga again
thanks to the 68030 board that prof. Fulvio Peruggi sent me. Thanks!

Changes in this version:

- SRename is now entirely compatible with the OS Rename command. Because of
  this the source path in no longer automatically reused for the destination
  path if this isn't given in simple renaming, but is only reused if the
  SAMEPATH option is given.

- Speeded up simple renaming a bit by executing a destination path checking
  routine only in case of failure, to determine the exact cause.
  In case of renaming using wildcards or renumbering the destination path
  checking is done before the renaming starts, as before.

- Simplified the renumbering code reducing the size of the executable a bit.

- Fixed bug that caused an enforcer hit when trying to invert (IV option) a
  single filename. Now no attempt is made to invert filename sequences that
  consist of just one filename.

- Fixed bug that caused the erratic modification of the basename of the
  filename sequences after the first, when multiple sequences to process are
  given and temporary filenames were generated.
