Free Birding Database Program

["Dave Torr" <>]

Thanks - problem seemed to be that on XP the Program Files is read only. 
WHen I unset it using Explorer it still showed up as read-only - weird. 
JBird would not create a new directory using the installer, but if I created 
one myself then it worked OK.
