[gradsusr] Latest Update

[Mark Sponsler]

Thanks so much Arlindo for all you efforts to keep OpenGrads going. Your time and expertise is grwatly appreciated by all. 

Yes, I filled out the survey.

It's not a huge issue if support for WinXP is dropped. 

Of course having the grads.exe for XP would be great, even if it was sent just to those folks that need it as an unofficial patch and unsupported and with no gurantees about security.  It could serve as a bridge until such usrrs migrate fully over to Win10. 

If you do it, just want to make it as easy for you as possible. And if you don't, I fully understand.

Thanks again,
Mark
