What's new in version 1.02

BUGFIX - notify daemon & porta function are now immune to CLISP interpreter WARNING messages that can appear before the copyright message in the protocol data stream from the tracking server & CPU resource servers.

BUGFIX - porta function now uses "prin1" to send portable tasks to the CPU resource servers. This provides correct character escaping & better transparency of portable code.

FEATURE - porta function now self executes portable tasks if the local machine has the highest ACR, therefore saving time by not sending the task to the grid for execution.

FEATURE - porta function now returns a third variable indicating if a portable task was self executed or grid executed.
