Contest Scoring Software

[gene.maurice at comcast.net]

Charlie,

I'm working on some additional enhancements / fixes that should be done in a couple of weeks (?). The big piece that's NOT done is the "Help" files.

All of that said I hope to release an unrestricted shareware version on or about April 1.
