A special thanks to Leonard Wojcik for nudging this change/update forward. The Import Chronograph
Data function now will process either human generated chronograph log data, or the simple text
file downloadable from the CED chronographs. The human created files are of the format one string
of shot velocities per line; the CED file as downloaded from their top-end chronograph. The updated
help file explains the details of the supported formats. This update is known as version "3.39".

Bug fix in XBC. A bug was found where "Print Drop Tables" would produce a Invalid Floating Pt number

GMDR.Load ver 3.38b XBC modified to support very light air-gun weight pellets.
Previous version of the XBC has a cutoff whereby bullets less than 20gr were
considered user error or database error and trajectories were not computed for
them. The 20gr cutoff has been reduced to 5gr. This updated GMDR.Load is available
for downloading, and since the change is minor, is still called ver 3.38b.

Standard bullets list brought current to Hornady's website as of 9Aug2012.
Standard bullet catalog now contains 2661 entries. Of Note: although most
of the changes involve the addition of new bullets, some of the older listings have
had their BCs changed - as such trajectories computed for these bullets will be
different from trajectories computed with the old data.

GMDR.Load ver 3.38b update is available for downloading. This fixes a
bug in the XBC whereby energy values were not calculated for bullets of
less than 20gr - that limit has now been set to 5gr. Additionally, GMDR.Load
has been modified to allow it to continue to use the previous to version 3.38
bullet catalogs (though G7 BC data will not be available) - this is to allow
users to continue to use 3.38 even though they haven't yet downloaded the
updated lists/catalogs - though to make full use of 3.38, the updated catalogs
do need to be downloaded/updated.

non-G1 bullet data with modified/existing "Add User Bullet" tool; BC calculators (single and batch) now support
calculation of non-G1 BCs given TOF, Drop or Terminal V data (as before for only G1).
NOTE: if updating from 3.xx to 3.37 or 3.38, one MUST download a new/updated bullet list to use the new non-G1 functions.
So that the correct updated bullet lists are downloaded, this update must be done from within a version 3.37 or 3.38 (any older version
will not know about the new lists and will only download the old ones).
