Hi Steve:

First of all thanks for the new montly alltime function. Using it for the first time I encountered some minor problems.

The first problem is due to the small screen size of the Acer netbook Cumulus is running on (1024x600 pixel). The button bar at the bottom of the screen covers the last line(s) of the data grid and the down arrow in the scroll bar. There is no way to reach the bottom row and enter the data.

The second problem is the data for the first entry in the Cumulus dayfile. Some of the values may be way off (low barometer = 0 hPa for example), so these values should be excluded from the calculations.

The last problem that I found is the missing values in the dayfile before about December 2010. Those values cannot reliably be copied from the dayfile, but they need to be copied from the monthly logs.

I may have to make the default height of the window smaller, as I had to do with the NOAA screens; that should fix it.

You should really delete the first entry from dayfile.txt, it doesn't represent a full day anyway, typically.

Yes, this is probably why some of the values are 'more extreme' from the monthly logs, as discussed above.

You are right, I probably should have deleted that first line a long time ago. But I suppose like me a lot of people haven't ...

Anyway, thanks again for a great enhancement to the program
