[Dx4win] Re: Lost QSO's

Well, a power failure is only one cause of lost QSO's.
As I learned a few weeks ago, Bill Gates' infernal device will do it too,
when it downloads a 'patch' and reboots twice during the night, over writing
the temporary file that holds your 'automatically saved' Q's that you forgot
to actually (Alt-S) save.
Thus I have gotten into the habit of doing Alt-S after each completed
contact. Not viable for contesting, but acceptable for DXing. That's why I
suggested the programmable key method. 
Seems like a patch is in order, but does not seem to be in the queue.
