This is not a DX4WIN logfile

I noticed in the save directory that the Wb4tdh.dxl file must have
been
corrupted as the size of the file is approximately half the size it
should be (~6.5M vs. 11.5M).  The Wb4tdh.~xl file looks the right
size
so if I understand this correctly I should be able to recover my log
from this file?  If so, what procedure do I need to follow to do
this?
The .dxl file has a time stamp 1 minute later than the .~xl file
which
may impact the recovery process?

I would greatly appreciate guidance on this.

[Dx4win] Computer Crash

[Andy Hill]

This morning my computer crashed and I had DX4WIN running at the time 
(version 9.0.4.1176).  I had just logged a QSO and manually saved the 
logfile.  Approximately a minute later the computer crashed.  After 
restarting the computer and opening DX4WIN I received the following 
error message when I attempted to open my logfile (Wb4tdh.dxl):


This is not a DX4WIN logfile

I noticed in the save directory that the Wb4tdh.dxl file must have been 
corrupted as the size of the file is approximately half the size it 
should be (~6.5M vs. 11.5M).  The Wb4tdh.~xl file looks the right size 
so if I understand this correctly I should be able to recover my log 
from this file?  If so, what procedure do I need to follow to do this?  
The .dxl file has a time stamp 1 minute later than the .~xl file which 
may impact the recovery process?


I would greatly appreciate guidance on this.
