[WT-support] V4 and Download of Files from "databases"

[Franta Bendl]

Hi Bob,

tnx - it works.

Checked the new feature of sun status in "Check multipliers" window - there is 
night for ever in JW or JX!?

Other question: Is it possible to change the color of the "day" in the sun 
status? My screen shows this yellow too glaring.
