Release "dev" tagged as SL99c_1 -> "new"

April 21 1999 "dev" version of Library has been tagged as SL99c_1 and moved to "new". This is a first release of library with new scheme of makers .

"dev" branch is remained SL99d and will be used for development.

The present release assignment is:

SL98j (SL98j_1)
