[Dx4win] THANKS TO ALL WHO RESPONDED

[Mel]

You might share how you managed to recover everything Stu. When I spoke with
you from work, it was looking rather gloomy.

> MY RECCOMMENDATION IS MULTIPAL BACK-UP'S

A lesson that is learned by far too many AFTER they have had a data loss.
Others take note!!!

Another recommendation... From time to time, e-mail a copy of your log to
yourself at work (Where backup is normally secure) or to a friend. It's
always good to have some data off-site also.
