[Dx4win] SyncBack_DX4WIN_BACKUPS

[Gary Bartlett VE1RGB]

I have SyncBack (free version) set up to back up the DX4WIN "Save" file 
every ten minutes and I have determined empirically that indeed it will back 
up an open file.  I just watched SyncBack light up the memory stick that I'm 
using for backup, so I opened ve1rgb.dxl off my F-drive (Kingston) and, lo 
and behold, it reflects the latest Q I made a few minutes before.  It helps 
to periodically use the Ctl-S feature so that the file that gets copied is 
right up to date.

    73,
    Gary, VE1RGB
