Has anyone a good fix for getting Q's logged to file in real time.... with NO buffer or backup file somewhere else on the harddrive. I have just had another power outage from an electrical storm. When you have a sudden shut down everything is supposed to be saved in the "backup file". When a new reboot comes up you get the message about using this file. How ever if some reason it didn't get written to this file and you load it on top of your working .dxl file, your screwed. You just wiped Q's that are gone. I try to keep a second file going to prevent this from happening but it required saving to the 2nd file as I remember. Has anyone come up with a bullet proof way to prevent the lose of Q's in DX4WIN? In several years of using this logging program that is the only problem I have had that is unacceptable.

Your system has no way of knowing "a sudden shut down" is about to occur, so all it can do is write data to your primary log file when you tell it to or to a backup log file as often as you schedule it to. To your computer, a sudden shut down is like you or me being blind-sided by a truck, without time for us to even blink, let alone make sure our will is up to date. :) >Has anyone come up with a bullet >proof way to prevent the lose of Q's in DX4WIN? Yup. I run my logging computer off of an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) so I always have plenty of time to shut things down. 73, Dick -- Dick Flanagan K7VC NV SM [EMAIL PROTECTED]
