Weapon Toolkits - Rate now allows "/"
In order to faciliate the siege weapon stats with rates of "9/9", the slash ("/") character has been added to the allowed list of keystroke characters.
This change required the weapon rate to be change to text from numeric. Not a simple modification.

The Weapon Toolkit export placed the speed of the weapon into the accuracy.
Changed to the correct load value of accuracy.
CHARM TOOLKIT

This was previously set at two.
ABILITY TOOLKIT
CASTE *NONE, WARNING MSG ADDED
Added a number of enhancements to make the creating of abilities easier to understand.
The toolkit had been vague on how to correctly add a ability and on how to make it list in a character toolkit.
Caste assignments now have the option "*None" added before it was blank if you did not want it to display for a particular caste.
A warning message will now display if you are attempting to save a ability with no castes assigned.
This message informs you that the ability needs a caste assigned for it to display in the Character Toolkits.
Also added drag/drop capability for selecting of abilities for import/exports.
CASTE INFO NOT EXPORTING
None of the caste assigned to the Ability's exalted type where transfering when exported.
Solution
Added logic to correctly transfer on imports and exports of abilities
BACKGROUND TOOLKIT
BACKGROUND2 TOOLKIT
BACKGROUND IMPORT - DUPLICATE NAME CHECK INVALID
When performing a import of a background with the same name as an existing background under another exalted type,
the newly imported background would have a #1 added to end of name.
This should not happen because the name is unique by Exalted type, background name, not just background name.
Solution
Changed import check of background name to include the exalted type.
IMPORTS WITH OVERWRITE DUPLICATE NAME ERRORS
When importing a background, the exalted type was not being taken into account when checking the name uniqueness.
For example, if Allies was being imported and overwritten, it would give a duplicate index error if the allies was not from the Solars.
Solution
Added check for exalted type when retrieving background name.
OVERWRITE CHECKBOX NOT SAVED BETWEEN USES.
Check box would always reset to unchecked after performing a import.
Solution
Add save to registry for Overwrite checkbox
GIFT TOOLKIT
GIFT IMPORT - DUPLICATE NAME CHECK INVALID
When performing a import of a background with the same name as an existing background under another exalted type,
the newly imported background would have a #1 added to end of name.
This should not happen because the name is unique by Exalted type, background name, not just background name.
Solution
Changed import check of background name to include the exalted type.
IMPORT FIX TO ALL ST TOOLKITS
IMPORT LOCKS WHEN OVER 25 VALUES ARE IMPORTED
When you attempt to import more then 25 charms, backgrounds, beasts, etc., the program freezes and requires a alt+ctrl+del to end.
This issue was caused by a array out of bounds error.
The error catch would attempt to redimension the array, but used the wrong dimension.
Therefore when 20 was added to the dimension, it would use the value of 1 as the base.
This cause the new dimension to be only 21 instead of 45.
And infinite loop would then occur because the array would continually attempt to resize itself.
Solution
Corrected error catching logic to use the correct dimension when resizing the array.
