Summary of Changes:
===================

v4.0.2a	(09.JULY.2001)
    1) - At the request of Tim Bogle, removed override of target start/end period with value of plan horizon so that:

            a) if a start period is beyond the plan horizon, the entire line entered in targets.dat is ignored.

            b) if an end period is beyond the plan horizon whose start period is within the plan horizon
               (straddle condition), reset the end period to be equal to the plan horizon.

    1) - At the request of Tim Bogle, removed override of target start/end period with value of plan horizon:
         If a start period is beyond the plan horizon, the entire line entered in targets.dat is ignored.
         If an end period is beyond the plan horizon whose start period is within the plan horizon (straddle condition),
         reset the end period to be equal to the plan horizon.

                // validate input for the start and end periods
                if (inend < instart) // the end date can't be after the start date or time runs backward ;-)
