[amsat-bb] Satpc32 download

[Rolf Krogstad]

Please change the very first line of my previous email to this:
Yes - Do the DataBackup first, then uninstall the previous version, then
install the new version, *then run DataBackup again, this time choosing the
[Restore Data] button.  Then Run SatPC32 and your license and
settings/configurations should be restored.*
