Version FP1.91.355-RC2

This version solves a couple of minor issues and introduces a major improvement of bugreport handling

1. Added madExcept for bug handling in the Monitor one executable.
   MadExcept (from Mathias Rauen) was built to help locating crashes in software. Whenever there is a crash or exception in Monitor one, madExcept will automatically catch it, analyze it, collect lots of useful information, and give the end user the possibility to send us a full bug report.
   MadExcept uses the mailto: function of your default email client to send a bug-report, giving you full control over what information is being sent to us. This means no tricks, no sending of private information, just the sending of useful information that helps us improving Monitor one. See the screenshot of madExcept in action below (note that the exception was forced by the "DoCrash module" especially designed for testing!)

2. Added a new /ENABLEHIS10 commandline switch for starting Monitor one from the commandline. This new switch enables the creation and use of History Shooters with 10 second polling intervals. Many simultaneously running 10 sec History Shooters can have a considerable effect on the performance of your Monitor one system. The use of this switch is entirely at your own risk!
3. Modified Date and Time format on various Monitor one windows based on the Date/Time settings of your system.
4. New Firebird SQL database version. The version used in this Monitor one release is Firebird version Firebird 2.0 RC5.
5. Support for audible alerting in the web browser. Monitor one uses the HTML <embed> tag to implement audio. The <embed> tag is the most common way of adding sound to a Web page. We have tested two browsers: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and Mozilla Firefox 1.5.
   
   • If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer and you're getting the "Press SPACEBAR or ENTER to activate and use this control" message popup please read the information provided here http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=917425 for a patch.
   • Mozilla Firefox requires the QuickTime plug-in to be installed. You can download this plugin from the Apple website ( http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html )
6. A major bug was found (and fixed) in the Shooter wizard.
