I was going to say that you probably drive this harder than anyone else, but you just accounted for that.
Like Bill, I have not gotten around to updating VDosXy. Too many bigger fish to fry, such as yet another rig thoroughly trashed by MS Update "fixes". Can't remove them, or even boot in Safe Mode. (This would seem to underscore the old adage, "If it Ain't Broke, DON'T Fix It." Because NOW it IS broke.) Fixing bugs should be a good and useful thing, though sometimes it's just not worth the risk. For that computer, it will now come down to a three month old Acronis boot partition image, but I won't even have time to deal with that for several days.
For the more important computers, I really need to make those images more often -- or even better, to clone the whole drive, so that there is a drop-in replacement. I just picked up two more WD Black 1 TB. hard drives for $49. each on sale. This is now probably more cost-effective than it has ever been.

My issue may stem from the way I use XyWrite -- lots of U2-ing and
opening Windows program from within Xy -- and the stresses it puts on
vDos. Still, I'm getting an order of magnitude more crashes with the
latest version than with the penultimate one, and since my modus
operandi hasn't changed, something must be going on with VosXy.
