Added support for the Byte Blaster server.

server support. (This
should only be enabled if you will be using WxBBSrvr)

If no email address is specified, the program will insert an
email address in order to satisfy the byte blaster servers.
This will keep the client from being disconnected by the
servers when they reach 90% capacity.
4.
If the ingest path is not defined when this program starts, a
message box will be displayed and the operator will have the option
of seeing a setup screen to establish the ingest path.
This is normally not needed when using Weather Message.

relative timing. There
were situations where events may not happen, if the computer is busy
and the program does not have control during second zero.
6.
Program now makes an entry in the log file when it starts and
stops.
7.
Changed the progress bar to style smooth and increased the
width of the bar.

agrees with the message being received.

the data view field.

port being reset. The
comm port will only be reset if the port number is changed.

If the ingest path is not defined when this program starts, a
message box will be displayed and the operator will have the option
of seeing a setup screen to establish the ingest path.
