I have found that there is no such thing as "automatic save" unless you are
in LAST.EZ. If you want to take an existing named file and improve it - -
okay click on the file and work on the wires, transmission lines and
source tabulations, but be sure to SAVE AS and choose the same
filename and just replace it. If you don't, the file won't get updated. I
learned this after assuming opening a filename meant anything I would do
would be placed under that filename - - like it would if you were in WORD,
but no, it's not saved, and if you open another filename, the work you did
will be lost - - in my case, all 32 wires, 21 transmission lines and 2
sources to enter data for 2 designs - - and you'll have to do all of it
over
again. I even printed out the description of the file - - it was all
there - - but the next time I went to look at it, it was back to the
previous file that the new design had been started with - - no update!

Roy, you may or you may not fix this - - I guess it's been this way for a
long time - - so you probably have your reasons. It's just that it's not
like WORD, and I feel WORD is a preferable model. Of course once you know
about the problem, I guess it's not a problem - - until you forget and lose
your work - - so I'm lighting the candle. I have never lost an update to a
WORD document. (You are prompted to save it, if any change has taken
place).

Beginning with version 4.0, introduced more than 5 years ago, EZNEC
prompts you when you end the program or open a new file, asking whether
you want to save the current one, if the description has changed since
opening the file.

I won't be making any more changes to v. 3.0.
