Trans field and rahisto

Hey Nick,
I just uploaded argus-clients-3.0.2.beta.10.tar.gz with a fix for the  
'trans'
bug.  Several things wrong, as the AGR DSR, which is where we store
the trans statistics, was used by rahisto() to hold its stats, so the  
fix was
slightly obsure, but it should be working now.  Please give it a try.

Thanks!!!
