Azardi R2-1 Update

There has been a minor update to AZARDI, which may be useful for some users.

The default application paths can now be changed to any location Windows disk location.

To do this go to the application installation directory and find the file config.txt. Here you will see three path statements for the library, cache and reports directory. Edit these for your own requirements. The application creates the directories in the cache and reports location so you only have to provide the main path.

If you don't have a problem with the earlier fixed installation path, there is no real reason to upgrade until a later full feature update. This small usability change has been made at the request of a number of users (including me!).
