Tree would of course know all the details, but it's basically a cache that 
stores things like all the QSO totals, mult totals, settings, etc. so that 
if you restart in the middle of a contest, the program does not need to 
rescan the configuration files or (worse) the entire log to get you back
up and running with all your settings and an accurate score and mults-needed
display.  If the file is missing, it will rescan the configs and log (and
rebuild a restart.bin file for next time).  It's value may have been more 
important in the days of 15MHz 286s than today's very fast processors.
