[Dx4win] Lost Log File

2004-10-03 Thread Randy Brothers 
After more than a year of no problems with DX4Win 6.02, some unknown glitch
occurred that wouldn't allow saving the logfile when I went to close it. So
I just killed the program.
Now when I go to open my logfile, it says unknown type and Explorer shows it
with size 0.
Is it gone forever or can it be recovered somehow?

Thanks for any help,

[Dx4win] Lost Log File

Supposing your log file is named K9OR.dxl you should find a file named
K9OR.~xl in the SAVE folder in DX4WIN.  This file can be renamed
K9OR.dxl and will have most of the log.  Of course one should back up the
.~xl file first somewhere else before renaming it.  All this assuming there
is not something else wrong with your program itself.  Also I back up the
log file every day or so to a ZIP drive depending on activity and change
the disc in it fairly often. I still keep a paper log with essential
details of contacts, still don't fully trust computers.
