This release 

- removes trailing spaces from the names of bands defined in the sub-band definition file (tnx to Bob N9AKR)

- ensures that override modifications are conveyed to DXKeeper

- if the "Capture location info from notes" option is enabled, inspects spot notes for the phrase "NPOTA ABmn" or "NPOTA AB-mn" and if found places ABmn in the Spot Database Entry's new NPOTA field

- provides an "Accept SQL Filter Updates" option that if enabled permits other applications to update the contents of an SQL filter by name, and then invokes that filter (tnx to Iain N6ML)

- updates the ConfigurationGeneral.htm and SpotDatabase.htm documentation files
