I do this for ALL contests.  I have contest-specific 
batch files (with useful names, like CQWWCW01.bat) 
that are usually based on last year's setup.  These 
load the TSRs, have the right command-line stuff, 
whatever... but, perhaps more importantly, I have 
another one called GO.BAT that calls the contest-
specific one.  All I ever need to do in the event of a 
crash is type "GO".
