Chess engine: Retro-Sargon 1.01b

on
Sargon - UCI chess engine (C++)
Authors: Dan & Kathe Spracklen & Bill Forster
Rating CEDR=2185

v.1.01b:
There was one significant bugfix in the source code that wasn't yet in a binary Github release (the bugfix was only in the Github source code). So time to create Github release 1.01b. 
Basically Sargon without a book, playing Black was incorrectly replying to 1.Nf3 with the blunder 1...e5 instead of the correct 1...d5. Totally my fault, not an original Sargon bug. The project has been very stable for a couple of years, but Visual Studio wants to change something too (of course it does), platform toolset V1.41 -> v1.42. Finally, some Z80 mnemonic improvements make it into this release, eg CP A,1 is replaced by the more correct (even though it's less explicit) CP 1. The ZMAC assembler didn't care but some assemblers do.
