I've just uploaded a new version of Dial.zip (the Windows version of Dial)
to my QSLMaker site at http://hfradio.org/wb8rcr.  I haven't updated the web
site yet to indicate the new version, nor have I updated the command line
version for Linux nor the Panel program.  The Dial and Panel programs are
hidden in a link at the bottom of the navbar at the QSLMaker site.

The only change is to allow the dial to be rotated.  Previously, the program
assumed that the control was positioned "normally", that is, with the dead
portion of the control centered on straight down.  This is still the default
but you may now rotate the dial in one degree increments.

For those of you who haven't used Dial, it is a Windows program that allows
you to easily print a dial for a control.  The Panel program allows you to
create an entire panel, but it produces PostScript output so it's messier to
use than Dial which uses whatever Windows printer you have selected.
