Release 6 Update4:
Please note that RadialWebServer will break if it finds files other than the expected ones in the Radial folders and probably the Wave and spectra folders as well.

To fix, delete any RDLm_XXXXX_2011.png files in the MeasPattern folder and in the Archives folder as well; be sure not to save SeaDisplay png files into the radials folder. The problem here is not so much that it's a png file but that RadialWebServer tried to parse the file name and did not get the date stamp it expected.

Replaces Update3 with the following
“known issue”:
Known issue with Update 3: There is a high probability of third-party (custom) file transfers retrieving radials that are only partially completed. This may cause an incomplete total vector to be made prematurely. SeaSonde file transfers utilities and Combining software will retransfer any newer radials and re combine the total, but recent reports indicate that some “custom” transfer utilities and combining software will not.
