[Dx4win] saving files for backup

[Peg Haese KB9LIE]

At home, I save-as my current DX4WIN file as call plus the date
(month-day-year or it won't sort right). Then save-as to the USB flash
drive, take to work and save-as to the network drive, which is backed
up. Because of the date in the file name, I can easily tell which is
the latest version. So the older ones are backups too.

When using a laptop for portable, I just save-as the latest version
from the flash drive. If printing labels at work, or uploading to LOTW,
the new file gets a later date or even an additional letter after the
date. Otherwise I can't tell if I was using the current file or not.

I have DX4WIN files for both OM Paul K9OT and me plus our FP files, for
a total of four. Dating them helps a lot.
