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

[Paul Ferguson]

Jim's explanation of DX4WIN Data Protection Strategies should be 
required reading for DX4WIN users.

I have suggested in the past that DX4WIN add an option that when set 
would cause DX4WIN to save (in the DXL file) each QSO after it is 
entered without any additional user manual input. I have not seen a 
response from the developers of DX4WIN as to their position on this.

The value would be that you know your QSO is in the DXL file 
immediately. There are no complexities of it being somewhere else. 
For those who consider this a performance issue, the option could be 
left off.

What do other users think about the value of adding this option?
