New DYNOSTAR features

In response to user requests, we have made some changes to the DYNOSTAR program. Now you can now set the folder to use when exporting .DYN files for use by RODDIAG or XDIAG. This is in Options, on the General tab. There is a text box to type in a folder name, or a "..." button to click to select a folder graphically. If there is already a folder name in the text box, the folder browse box will open to that folder. If there is no folder name set, but the folder C:\THETA exists, the browse box will open to C:\THETA (though the user will have to click "OK" to accept it).

When .DYN files are saved, the following rules are used to create the file name (the user can still change it):
Folder:

• If an export folder has been selected (in Options), that folder is used
• Otherwise, if this is an existing .DNS file, the .DYN file is placed in the same folder
• Otherwise, it is a new .DNS file, and the .DYN file is placed in the current directory

File name:

• If this is an existing .DNS file, the .DYN file is given the same name (to more easily match .DYN files with .DNS files, and replacing the old method of naming the file with the current date and time)
• Otherwise, it is a new .DNS file, and the well name is used to construct the .DYN file name (as it is used to construct the .DNS file name).
