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.
