1. Fixed problem when using *PCFILEPREFIX1 - *PCFILEPREFIX10 when a file name has two delimeters without a space between them signifying a blank value. Index keys were shifting to the left because we didn't account for the missing blank space (the blank index value).

1. Added code for Use Daily Scheduled Times in the settings. This uses a 24 hour clock. It can not roll into the next day. If enabled this will start checking the input directories at the Start Time and it will finish it's pass and wait the specified wait time and then it will check to see if it has reached the End Time. If it has then it will not start until the Start Time is reached again.
2. Enabled code for Shutdown Time in the settings. If a valid time other than 00:00 is entered then the Print Server will complete it's pass, wait the specified wait time and then shut down. If they stop and restart the Print Server it will shut down again at the same time the following day. This time is using a 24 hour clock.
