*** new for 1.5:
- Bytecount display: the complete amount of data transferred is now
  additionally displayed
- Some more variables are now initialized to zero and cleared on reset;
  earlier versions would show some quite high random numbers
  occasionally on startup and reset
- timer.device now gets closed even when MUI and window object setup
  fail (ooops...)


Description:

   After Holger Kruse decided to provide a callback hook interface for
examining packets in his TCP/IP stack Miami, I got the idea to program a
link cps display. Some networking programs (like web browsers and ftp
clients) show the characters per second they get, but these show quite few
information, restricted to the data throughput of only this program and
some only display the average cps.

   So I programmed MiamiSpeedMeter, a program that displays the data
throughput on a specified link, all of it, including IP headers. It
shows both current and average cps, divided into inbound and outbound
streams, in configurable intervals.
