[PaQSO] Software Problem Found

[Don Reamer]

Recently I was made aware of a problem with the 2005 version of my logging 
software.  For some reason three (3) text support files were corrupted 
during the compiling or packaging process.  Could have been a power hit or 
computer hiccup while the process was running, I don't know.  Anyway, I have 
re-compiled the installation package and updated my web page with the new 
files.

If you've downloaded and installed the 2005 version already, you have three 
options to fix things.

1. If you feel adventurous, you can edit the text files manually and fix the 
corruption.  The files are cnty.txt, sect.txt, and code.txt and they are 
located in the program's directory.  The errors in the files should be easy 
to identify.  There are non-ASCII characters inserted in the text.  The 
cnty.txt file is corrupt at the MOE line.  The correct list should be MIF, 
MOE, MGY, MTR.  The sect.txt file is corrupt at the SD line.  The correct 
list should be SDG, SD, SFL, SF.  The code.txt file is corrupt on the last 
line and should read 101010.  If you do decide to edit manually, use an 
editor like NOTEPAD that doesn't add any formatting when you save the files 
otherwise it will really mess things up.

2. You can download new files from my webpage (support_files.zip), unzip, 
and overwrite the three files.

3. You can delete the entire installation, download the new installation 
files and re-install the entire program.

Thanks to Tom, KS3N, for catching the problem.

See... it pays to practice and experiment before the contest!

Sorry for the inconvenience.
