RPM 2.1b7 available

[Mike Byrne]

Not much has changed, so I'm assuming that everyone's been using b6
without problems.  The ACT-R Summer School is using b7 and I
thought I should make that publicly available.  Assuming no
problems (ha ha), this will be the final version of 2.1.

Available from the usual place:

For the few interested parties out there, here are the release
notes:

-------------------------------------------------
VERSION 2.1B7

* Released July 23, 2002. Assuming this goes smoothly at the Summer
School/Workshop, this will be the final 2.1 beta. 

* Bug in non-MCL Lisps of not copying the DISTANCE slot in visual
feature specs fixed. 

* Set TRACE-MODULES initform to T so that it will provide the
expected trace on the initial run. 

* Added LOCATION slot to sound events, and SUBVOCALIZE now sets
this slot to INTERNAL to represent internal speech. 

* SPEECH-AVAILABLE-P should now be defined even if speech-utils is
not loaded. 

* A bunch of under-the-hood changes by Dan to the UWI. This
affected a couple method/function names for MCL, too, and caused
some renaming of files.  Don't panic. 

* Now discriminates between Digitool MCL and OpenMCL.  For now. 

* PROCESS-DISPLAY now correctly propagates CLEAR parameter when
deferred. 

* CHECK-SPECS now prints an informative error message when there's
an error, and more intelligently checks for one. 

* Fixed teensy-weensy glitch with sound event initializer and
EVENT->DMO now includes location.  
-------------------------------------------------

Let me know if you find any problems!
