Version 1.2.0

[Freddie Akeroyd]

Hmm ... the only possible problem i can think of involves NXPUTCHARDATA;
it takes CHARACTER*(*) DATA, but i guess it could get passed a 2-D
character array i.e. CHARACTER*(*) DATA(*) ... should we take account of
this? I think it would just mean keeping a note of the "rank and dim" from
the last "makedata" statement (in, dare i say it, a COMMON block) and
using a modified EXTRACT_STRING to pull all of this out into a single byte
array to pass to "NXputdata".
