Hats off to the authors of MockWrite!

I was online with Dialog Information Services doing research and copying all my
citations into MockWrite.  Well, when I went to print, I got some sort of a
system error resulting in a bomb (I don't remember the ID #).  Anyway, it hit
me then and there that I had not saved the file.  So there it flashed before
me:  half an hour of dialog searches and $12 down the drain.  However, when I
clicked "Restart" from the bomb dialog, MockWrite came to the foreground and
said:

"Save changes before closing?"

I don't believe it.  I've never seen a DA do that before.  Hats off to
MockWrite!
