[Dx4win] Lost power....lost QSO's

Well, it has happen again.  I've been working a few cw dx contest entries
today and here in midwest we are getting a big snow storm.
The power has gone off a couple of times and as result DX4WIN has closed
unexpectedly.  I know all the supposed safeguards of the
"backup files"  but often when the power goes suddenly the computer fails to
make a clean reboot as well.  If the program comes up but locks
up and I don't get a chance to say restore backup.... I loose the updated
data.  I will ask again....IS there a way to make this logging
program write to the hard after each contact?  I don't want any buffered
time delay.  I just want to hit enter and when I see the Q in the log screen
it is written to disk.  I use an external disk drive to backup off the hard
drive but I must also manually make it write to that drive.  Also, I am
not interested in dialog suggesting power battery backups, etc.  I would
just like to know if this problem has ever been solved inside the DX4WIN.

Thanks,

Glen K0JGH
