[Dx4win] Accidental deletion of log?

About once every month or two, my father W1JR loses his log.  The
W1JR.dxl file just disappears from the SAVE directory.  Does anyone
else share this experience?

I have never lost my log in the many years I have used the program.

The *only* possible cause I can think of is shutting down the computer
before the log has been written from memory cache to disk. (I leave my
computers on all the time, sorry Al Gore.)  It's NOT a slow computer -
Core 2 Duo, 2GB of RAM, 7200 RPM hard drive, etc.

I'd love to figure out how to prevent this problem, as panic usually
ensues until I can restore the most recent copy of the log from one of
the many backup locations (the log is backed up at least three ways,
not counting the ways DX4WIN backs things up).

Thanks & 73 - Jim AD1C
