A-Shell Development History

Implement New OpenSSH transport option. This only affects ATE directly, but it involves introduction of a new DLL (ASHNET2.DLL) and a modification to the interface of the ASHNET.DLL (which should all be updated at the same time). It isn't yet clear what the advantages or disadvantages of this implementation are, but the motivation for including it are:

As a possible solution to a rare but annoying problem in the existing SSH implementation (based on libraries licensed from Chilkat) in which the session disconnects spontaneously.
The new implementation is cross-platform, opening the door to possibly support SSH-based capabilities (a new SFTP perhaps?) under A-Shell/UNIX.
