[Dx4win] Lost Log File

[Jay Sewell]

Supposing your log file is named "K9OR.dxl" you should find a file named
"K9OR.~xl" in the SAVE folder in DX4WIN.  This file can be renamed
"K9OR.dxl" and will have most of the log.  Of course one should back up the
.~xl file first somewhere else before renaming it.  All this assuming there
is not something else wrong with your program itself.  Also I back up the
log file every day or so to a ZIP drive depending on activity and change
the disc in it fairly often. I still keep a paper log with essential
details of contacts, still don't fully trust computers.
