It'd be really nice if there's away to recover unclosed files due to crashes. Just last night, we had a 2500 frame anim nearly completed after 13 hrs. of rendering when the machine went belly-up. All we got was an empty file. ;-( I hope future rendering programs will have backup facilities during the render process to recover and continue a process in the event of a crash. -Viet
