HELP!
   
  I am operating from XE1 at the moment and have had a log for my operations here set up as xe1-g3svd for the past 10 years. Today I opened up the log as usual (it seemed) and was operating nearly all day on 6m and worked in excess of 40 US stations. From time to time I had to close down the laptop due to power outages or thunder storms and the restart when the problem was over,  seemed as usual. Each time I did this I clicked on SAVE in the FILE menu. However when I decided to finally close down for the day I tried to save the log only to get the message "demo version your log cannot be saved"! No way is it a demo version, I clicked on OK hoping to go back to the log but it just closed down and when I started it up again all today's contacts had gone, everything up to a 20m qso I had yesterday is in the log OK but nothing from today. Is there anywhere that these qsos could be hiding away. In the SAVE directory I have two files xe1-g3svd.~xl and xe1-g3svd.dxl. I have not
 been able to open them and have not tried too hard as I dont want to make matters worse. Could either of these have the information I want?
