Hi guys, good thread.

I also create a little batch file, GO.BAT, in the root directory (or
wherever your autoexec.bat lands you when you boot) which sets the path
to include your post and tr.exe location, sets you to the location of
your logcfg.dat, log.dat, restart.bin for the current contest, and
starts TR.  Just in case you find a bug/do something stupid that causes
you to have to reboot quickly.  Just reboot and type GO at the prompt.
While you log in pencil to keep it going...
