Try to get in the habit of saving incrementally numbered files… MYJOB01.PRJ,
MYJOB02.PRJ, etc. The "+" button on the save screen makes this really easy. If
you save every ten minutes or so, this will give you a trail to undo most major
mistakes.

Good suggestion, thanks. How do you manage this, periodically delete all but
say the 5 most recent?
Thanks again,
Tyler

I would also recomend saving incremental project files. It's dried my tears a
few times <g>.

I have to admit I've never got as far as version #23. At work I'm on a network
that's backed up nightly so maybe I just get sloppy <g>. On my personal system
at home, when I run out of room and I feel confident that the older files are
no longer needed, I just delete up to the last two or three versions. If I'm
not so confident, I ZIP them up onto floppies before I delete.

I always save ever 15 minutes and then when I reach the hour I begin
again with the first name. I never have more than 4 prj for each job.
You can always do it every hour if you work slower (!!)
