Released stardust.c v1.3 with improved Costas loop carrier recovery for low-SNR vinyl rips.

Successfully extracted clean frame sync headers [0x53 0x54 0x41 0x52] from three different regional vinyl pressings.
The original stardust.c v1.0 dropped sync whenever there was a scratch or surface pop on the record.

Grab the source archive from ftp.ashford-poly.edu:/pub/telecom-archives/stardust/stardust-1.3.tar.gz.

Can you provide a pre-compiled DOS binary? Some of us don't have Linux or a C compiler installed on our machines.

Compiled cleanly under gcc -O2 on my Slackware box. The adaptive Costas loop is rock solid even on my scratched US copy.

Top-posters will be placed in my ~/.killfile without notice.

Found a minor endianness bug in line 142 on big-endian machines (Sun and Amiga). Replace ntohl with custom byte swap macro.
