Bummmer, but as stated by others, all should NOT be lost. There should be a .~xl and/or .dxl file in there somewhere.
I wrote a little script that I use at the end of every day that backs up all my data files on to a zip disk from Palm, Quicken, DX4WIN and others. I run it from the "Start Menu". One could also run it from a chron job so it's automatic. BTW, I know lots of you like XP but IMHO it is a very invasive program and I personally don't care for that. Same reason I don't use IE or any of that ilk. Just 'cause it's newer is not a reason to change. I have found win2k pro a very stable platform. I just wish there were more Linux applications, or that I had the time to write some. -- : _.' __|__//___ __ __/_o_o_o____\___/_/\ \ | \ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ George M.
