Yes! It would also make it harder to accidentally overwrite files. I also
think that using a different file name for each contest (ie not LOG.DAT) 
would be better. In the past I've lost an entire log because I accidentally
overwrote it with another LOG.DAT file. 

How about this- give the program an optional command-line argument for a
file name (.DAT assumed?). If nothing is given, it uses LOG.DAT by default.
