Scutlet services

*Fixed the LabFormat WBC differentials panel*

I'm sorry for the inconvenience! I have not been on service, so I was not aware CareWeb changed its display of CBCPDs. I'm working on a reliable long-term solution for maintenance.

Please continue to email me with problems/suggestions (mckao in Groupwise). Also please give the Windows version of Scutlet a try.
