Joe,

Please read Todd's message again.

Todd was saving his work when Constructor failed. Perhaps he had been 
saving every 5 minutes all day - the point is all work since the last 
*backup* was lost (since the final failed save garbled the file).

Inquiring minds want to know if you do a backup (i.e., save in a different, 
inactive location) every half hour :)

I would guess that most people (including myself) rely on a daily (or 
worse) midnight backup.

Todd's warning about a possible flaw in Constructor's save function is a 
fair and useful warning.

Cheers, Erik
