  services scanning and monitoring changes
  added a "send even if console response" alert flag
  change to disable further notifications for a device if
    you have "responded" to the item going down.  The response
    is either right clicking on an item (in map mode) or 
    bringing up the properties sheet and dismissing it.  This
    clears all notifications until the item comes back up.
  change to StopSound routine where it checks for devices
    that have valid (by time) sound notifications to determine
    if it should stop repeating sounds (during poll check).
    items that have been responded to (as above) don't count
    toward this check.
  change DNS check to be a UPD DNS PTR lookup of 
    1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa. instead of TCP lookup. Minor
    service check changes
  corrected single check (even if auto-polling is not enabled)
  modified SNMP dialog
  default item voice file is [auto].  If it is "[auto]" 
    WhatsUp searches for a file with the display name
    (truncated at first period) with a ".wav" extension.
    If not found, it uses "ahost.wav".

	can add additional ones under Software/Ipswitch/WhatsUp/SNMP/Traps

    representation.  Look in the key for an example after pressing 
	the apply button in the property tab.
  added SNMP service type and SNMP service monitoring.
  added SNMP service scanning
  added SNMP NetTool for looking at SNMP values.  Note that the 
    mib entry is incomplete, so you may have to know some of the
	numbers if you want to look at things.  You MUST use the "Add
	to Registry" option in Program/SNMP setup to be able to use
	the names that are listed in the dropdown.  You can add your
	own in the registry under the program key "SNMP/Obj" and 
	"SNMP/ObjID".
  added a check box next to the address field in item Main tab.  If
    this is checked, the IP address is relooked up every poll check.
	Recommend only using this if necessary as it adds to poll time
	and network traffic.
  corrected activity log display when log file is large.  only the
    last 20000 bytes will be displayed in the dialog.  use another
	text viewer to view the log if larger.
