Description: Really fixed environment variables to be user and not system-wide. 
IP address gets validated now. Latest TMG-CPRS with console tab and imaging. Latest 
scheduling GUI. Latest CPRSChart.exe, CPRSChart.ini is gone now, settings are stored 
in the database so that the user can roam. 
CPRS spoof is now 1.0.26.69. Changed environment variables to reside in user space, instead of machine space.  Added Bar Code Medication Administration Clients, latest VistA-Config with fields sortable by name for easy id. Clinical Scheduling, 
VistA-Config and TMG-CPRS with calculated field templates. Bug fix refresh of 
VistA-Config for more stability and many workflows tested and fixed. Fixed bugs TMG-CPRS 
with mixed controls/html and VistA tab color problem fix. Added option to register on 
website. 'Universal' client installer, easily installs and configures VistA clients on 
Windows. Works with both the Astronaut WorldVistA(tm) and OpenVistA(tm) editions of the 
Astronaut server. Communicates with the server securely through SSH tunnel. Added a 
session manager useful for users, developers and educators. It now uses environment 
variables as well as many other improvements throughout. This is a nearly 'Universal' 
client installer and should allow use with legacy as well as ssh tunneled VistA systems 
through the session manager. Click Sessions-->Add... put in the session parameters, then run the profile and optionally start the ssh tunnel if you are using encryption. It will 
manage Medsphere OpenVistA CIS(tm) sessions via OpenVistA CIS Stub shortcut if OpenVistA
 CIS is installed (not included due to GTK and .Net Framework separate installations 
required). Consistent professional splash screens added throughout. 

Changes: Session Manager is now modular and can be de-selected for end users not needing this capability.
