Changes for Version 1.5:

Just a few fixes and one major enhancement:

OnlineMeter
· Fixed two minor memory leaks I noticed:
  - one which I introduced in 1.4: OnlineMeter would loose around 20-80 
    bytes every time it read the preferences: I wasn't freeing the Hotkey 
    strings... (applied to OnlinePrefs too)
  - one which must have been around since early versions: OnlineMeter would
    loose 464 bytes every time the window was closed. The problem lies in
    the fact that gadtools.library CreateMenus() allocates all its menus in 
    one big lump, and if you subsequently add some, they don't get freed on
    a FreeMenus() as you'd think they would. You wouldn't belive how long 
    this took me to trace! An interesting combination of 
    CodeWatcher/owner/lvo/wedge/VLT/cpr & Artm eventually found it...

· Crash recovery:
  - If machine crashes while OnlineMeter is running or before ENV:
    vars are saved, running OnlineMeter again after reboot will recover
    the call values and ask if you wish to log them (if logging is enabled).
    Uses OS compilant KickTags mechanism.

· Slight Adjustment to layout should work better with some fonts.

Enjoy!
