SusProg3D - Suspension by Design.
===================
Version 5.152 has a number of enhancements.

Thanks to all of those who made comments and suggestions.

In no particular order.

V5.152A (Build 1698.0)

	Updated the Alignment input to allow for specifying "Caster" or "Inclination" (where applicable). Thanks to Adam for this one.
	Updated and corrected all the geometry calculations for uprights with one or two swivels. Add the kingpin upright style for the old type knuckle/kingpin/upright design. Thanks to Ken for this one.

V5.152B (Build 1698.1)

Some older data files did not open correctly. Corrected the file read DLLs.

V5.152C (Build 1698.2)

If open, the Instant Centres dialog didn't refresh with correct values after a Steering calculation. Fixed.

V5.152D (Build 1698.3)

Changed the rear suspension default wheel alignment setting to "Inclination".
Thanks to Ruben for both of these.

When opening older data files, added a warning message to check rear suspension alignment settings.
SusProg3D prior to V5.150 defaulted to "Inclination" for rear wheel alignment.
SusProg3D V5.150 and V5.152 introduced the distinction between "Caster" and "Inclination" and defaulted some rear suspensions to "Caster" which had the unintended consequence of changing the rear wheel alignment.
This version clarifies the distinction between "Caster" and "Inclination" for those rear suspensions that can use either setting, and raises a warning for data files that may be effected.

V5.152E (Build 1698.4)

Corrected the Watts linkage calculation when using an "underslung" Watts linkage.
Thanks to Luke for this one.

V5.152F (Build 1698.5)

Corrected the Mumford linkage calculation.
Thanks to Marvyn for this one.

Your feedback and suggestions are always appreciated.
