[Dx4win] DX4WIN in DEMO mode

[Mel Martin]

We have drifted from the original thread. The fact that you can screw up 
DX4Win by starting two instances almost simultaneously is perhaps an 
interesting bit of trivia... and the RunOnlyOne utility is 
interesting... I never heard of it before... but has little to do with 
the problem that some have had after the program has been running for 
some time and suddenly changes to DEMO mode disabling the saving any new 
or changed data.
