Commit release 1.02:

1. Move project from Google Code to GitHub (https://github.com/pkimpel/retro-b5500/). Update links and help pages; convert wiki pages to GitHub's MarkDown format.
2. Implement emulator-hosted memory dump to a tape image that can be saved and input into the B5500 DUMP/ANALYZE utility for analysis. Activated by clicking the NOT READY button on the Console.
3. Fix bad assignments to Processor X register in arithmetic ops (affected only SyllableDebugger script).
4. Remove IndexedDB.openDatabase() version parameter so the B5500ColdLoader and tools/ scripts will work in non-Firefox browsers.
5. Add a "?db" query string parameter to the tools/scripts so these scripts can open disk subsystems other than B5500DiskUnit.
6. Correct pre-allocated file locations and ESU card in tools/COLDSTART-XIII.card.
7. Implement new double-click mechanism to copy and clear the contents of card punch, datacom terminal, and line-printer output areas to a temporary window for subsequent copying or saving.
8. Correct handling of Ctrl-B (break), Ctrl-D (disconnect request), Ctrl-E (WRU), Ctrl-L (clear input buffer), and Ctrl-Q (alternate end-of-message) in B5500DatacomUnit.
9. Implement reporting of Model IB (slow, bulk) disk in B5500DiskUnit readInterrogate.
10. Implement detection of browser IndexedDB quota-exceeded errors in B5500DiskUnit (primarily to handle the fixed 2GB limit for off-line storage in Firefox).
11. Correct problem when line printer exhausted paper and FORM FEED triple-click did not clear the condition.
12. Eliminate BOT marker sensed in result for tape drive Write Interrogate operation -- Mark XIII and XV MCPs treat this as an error and will not purge blank tapes because of it.
13. Fix double-click of SPO INPUT REQUEST button either sending a duplicate interrupt to the system or the second click moving focus from the SPO input box.
14. Further tuning of delay-deviation adjustment mechanism in B5500SetCallback.js.
15. Reinstate ability of SPO to wrap long outputs to additional lines (apparently lost with new SPO input mechanism in 1.00).
16. Commit preliminary COOLSTART-XIII.card and MCPTAPEDISK-XIII.card decks.
