[ATM] FigureXP Download / Update

["James Lerch" <jlerch1@tampabay.rr.com>]

Greetings All,

Just finished doing some updates on FigureXP, to include

#1 Fixed a few typo's

#2 The "Save as Image" option, now saves as a .Gif file instead of a .Bmp file 
so as to save some much needed disk space.  (side note, its amazing how 
incredibly difficult such a simple thing turned out to be!)

#3 Added additional text detail to the saved image data, so that in now looks 
like this:
    http://lerch.no-ip.com/atm/Figure_File_Surface.gif (65KB)

Things to work on:

A) Jim Burrows wants me to look at the Strehl ratio calculations

B) Mike Peck wants me to look into the M-L plot data for changing CoC constants

Things to add:

A) An area to enter figuring session notes would be nice

B) An automated method to add new figuring session data would also be nice.

"Anything that can happen, will happen" -Stephen Pollock from:
"Particle Physics for Non-Physicists: A Tour of the Microcosmos"

" Press on: nothing in the world can take the place of perseverance.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. "
