SureSave reactor - make sure your DWG changes are always saved

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The SureSave utility (reactor) automatically saves changes in your drawings
even in cases where standard Save, Close or AutoSave fails.
SureSave will save a backup copy of your current drawing (to a specified
folder) on any Save, SaveAs, or Close operation (even if you click on
'Save changes [No]' by mistake and even if the standard Save operation fails
because of a disk error). It will also preserve the latest AutoSave (SV$)
file (normally deleted by AutoCAD on exit).

Usage:
Load the SureSave utility (e.g. with the APPLOAD command) and set the required
parameters with the SURESAVE command (one time operation only). The settings
are stored in the Registry.
Alternatively, you can unzip the ZIP package to:
c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\

In the setup dialog you can set SureSave operation on/off, specify the folder
for backup files (use a fast disk - e.g. SSD or RAMdisk) and clear the
existing (old) suresave backup files. The SureSave Now button performs an
immediate save manually.

If you need to restore a backup copy of your DWG, look for the latest file:
"SURESAVE_xxxxxxxx_Drawing.DWG" in your SureSave folder - e.g.:
"SURESAVE_12455720_Drawing3.dwg"

For the automatic cleaning of "suresave_" copies from the Recent File List (MRU,
history) you need the SureSaveClean.dll loaded (done automatically from the
Manifest XML file) and the option enabled.

Notes:
Only changed drawings are SureSaved.
SureSave is NOT COMPATIBLE with AutoCAD P&ID and Plant 3D!
The standard SAVETIME variable setting applies for timed backups. Setting of
0 disables timed backups in SureSave.

SureSave on new (still unnamed) drawings, SureSave NOW and SureSave after every N
commands uses a different save method (similar to WBlock) - only active space
objects are saved.
