From: Alan Folsom <alan at folsoms.net>
Subject: HCCP Update

I've just uploaded a minor fix to HCCP, now version 1.3.1. This is a
pretty stupid little bug - on start I get the current date from the
system, and if you try to enter competition info for the first time, I
preset the date to the current value. Unfortunately, the date for
months through september comes back with a leading 0, and when I use
this as an index into month names, August and September are represented
as 08 and 09, which are interpreted by the program as illegal octal
numbers. Any other months work perfectly well. Jeeshhh.....

Also included is a requested option to print all labels for judges at
one table on a single sheet of labels.

There are no other changes since 1.3, and no changes to the documentation.

HCCP is software to simplify and automate running a homebrew
competition. For more information, see http://www.folsoms.net/hccp/
