Whistle Specification Format Change

The format for a whistle specification file has changed since v1.02. I am now using the standard java XML parse/unparse technology, and that does not like tags whose name begins with a numeral. So if you wish to load a spec you created with v1.02 you will need to edit the file. A text editor is good. Look for the specification of the holes, it will look like this:
<Holes HoleCount="7">
    <1 Width="14.0" Offset="50" />
    <2 Width="13.0" Offset="0" />
    <3 Width="9.0" Offset="180" />
    <4 Width="13.0" Offset="0" />
    <5 Width="15.0" Offset="0" />
    <6 Width="16.0" Offset="180" />
</Holes>

As you can see the holes have numbered tags. Change the file by adding some 'h's:
<Holes HoleCount="7">
    <h1 Width="14.0" Offset="50" />
    <h2 Width="13.0" Offset="0" />
    <h3 Width="9.0" Offset="180" />
    <h4 Width="13.0" Offset="0" />
    <h5 Width="15.0" Offset="0" />
    <h6 Width="16.0" Offset="180" />
</Holes>

When you have loaded the specification into Whistle Calculator you can then resave it to the new format.

Whistle Calculator now only uses metric units (mm). When you load a whistle saved with imperial units Whistle Calculator will attempt to perform a conversion. You will have to load an imperial drill set for this to work correctly.
