Multi-line style changes (@I, @Colour etc.) now work in lines @Break mode

+Changes and new features introduced in Version 3.21 [10 May 2000]
+
+ Bug fixes (including an old problem of bits lost from programs in tables)
+ Refinements to @Perl symbol for Perl programming language formatting
+ Program texts can now be formatted with line numbers added
+ -V now tells about PDF compression and whether debug output is available
+ "Page body margins" for indenting of page body wrt headers and footers
+ Margin notes code updated to work as desired with the new page body margins
+ @PageEnclose symbol generalizes @PageBox (enclose each page in anything)
+ Robustness wrt Linux strcoll() improved (tab characters no longer compared)
+ "Abstract" word in tech reports now centred again by default
+ Lout now builds composite characters - see Expert's Guide, under @Font
+
+ *** IMPORTANT: ONE CHANGE THAT IS NOT UPWARDLY COMPATIBLE ***
+
+ If you are using your own setup file, then it is likely to contain the
+ line "@SysInclude { fontdefs }". There is no longer a fontdefs file,
+ there is now a fontdefs database, so you need to replace this line with
+ "@SysDatabase @FontDef { fontdefs }".
