56) 12/28/2020--GetRealtime.exe, Form1.MyMain:  Used real datatype_id instead of total rainfall to properly round end of period contents as USGS format, not 0.00.

57) 12/29/2020--GetRealtime.exe, Module1.solar:  Added correction for solar time shifts.  For a -3 time shift the temp & humid have been saved so noon is at 9am.

64) 1/20/2021--GetRealtime.exe, form1.MyMain:  Removed flag treating end of period contents like total rainfall.  USBR already reports as end of period.

63) 1/21/2021--GetNexrad.exe:  If'd error messages for batch.

64) 1/24/2021--GetNexrad.exe:  Added hand made N0Q and A2M legends to the radar pic.

----Lots of trouble with my Internet Provider slow or down or am I causing it.-------

65) 1/25/2021--GetNexrad.exe, GetGraphs.exe:  Added 3 minute overall timeouts to batch runs.  GetGraphs setup allows a change to the 3 minute default.  GetRealtime.exe already has a shell timeout of 3 minutes so...

66) 1/25/2021--GetRealtime.exe:  Added 3 minute time out to shells (not Hec or swmm).  Can set in setup.

67) 1/29/2021--GetRealtime.exe, module1.NWSSNOWcast:  Added a 2nd try when downloading data from NWS snowcasts.

70) 1/31/2021--GetNexrad.exe, form1.combineoverlays:  Added more OpenStreetMaps and fixed zoom when only topo on.

71) 2/8/2021--GetNexrad.exe, GetGraphs.exe:  Used a 150k bigbuf$, mid$(bigbuff$,s&,l&)=returned 31k smallbuffer from internet.  50 times faster than d$=d$ & newd$ but makes little noticable difference.

I can see why x$=x$ & y$ isn't any slower than mid$(x$,s,l)=y$
Not enough chunks to matter even at 50x faster.
x=x & y: 1000 x 31k chunks takes 2.6 seconds

78) 2/16/2021--GetGraphs.exe:  Changed ftp blind api to ftp api chunk writes to stop hanging.

79) 2/28/2021--GetRealtime.exe, Form1.MyMain:  For Total rain you can convert to increments use 9 datatype_id with 10xxx or 11xxx datatype_site_id.  Note was added to GetRealtime_datatypes.txt.

80) 3/14/2021--GetRealtime.exe, Form1.MyMain:  Moved most of the source setups out of MyMain to avoid max 32K subroutine size.  Left Snowmelt and Snowcast because of multiple returned parameters.

99) 2/8/2022--GetRealtime.exe, Form1.getdsource:  Fixed solar and ET GetRealtime_setup.txt formula P4 to use P1 so actual adjustments like P1*.9 will work.  If you have a formula of P4 or P5 for ET or radiation you have to delete them now.

99) 2/9/2022--GetRealtime.exe, Module1.MesoWest:  Fixed header line _set_1d that caused a problem on a station.

116) 2/21/2022--GetRealtime.exe, Form1.MyMain:  Added a warning to GetRealtime_errlog.txt when 'Gage Minimum for Hourly Ratios' > 0.05".  For frozen rain gages its easy to set this value to 9 to use the default ratio but don't forget to reset when it warms up.

117) 2/23/2022--GetGraphs.exe, Form1.ShowGraphs:  Reduced range for requiring Microsoft auto scale bug for small negative to positive value range.  Needed for ET.
