   Between the power that blinks out for 1-2 seconds every so often and
the stupid cat that just has to play with the keyboard when I go to the
other room, having a program that saves a file before is a great option,
not even to get into windows crashing. If you don't want to write over
your old file just rename it junk.pov or temp.pov and then rename it
with the proper name when you are ready to save it.
