New version of 2CDT by Kevin Thacker

New version of the 2CDT utility by Kevin Thacker which lets you create a tape image file (.CDT) or inject files inside.
New feature of this version : you can define the sync byte for headerless.
Corrected in this version :
command-line processing under windows and linux has been re-written. It is a lot better
if you uses the mode with 2 blocks and you gave it a file which was shorter than a block it would not write it correctly. Now fixed
When using pure tone it didn't write the length of the '1' pulse correctly
Some issues seen when running static analysis over the code.
