9.      Changed the string handling for file names.  This gives a slight performance increase.

12. Added a Daily Log File option to the Setup, System tab screen.  This option will copy the RtLog.txt and IbLog.txt each day, after midnight, to the ..\WxMesg\WxLogs directory.  The day will be appended to the base log file name.  For example the RtLog.txt for the first day of the month will be named RtLog01.txt.  It will overwrite the previous months log file.  These log files can be viewed using notepad or a word processor.

13. Added an option to the System setup tab to unzip received files.  When this option is selected, files with the extension zis and zip will be unzipped before any processing occurs.
