/* Program LOGGER_1.C
**
** Illustrates logging to a file by appending to an existing text file.
**
** Program checks to see if file "log.dat" exists and if so, closes it.
** Otherwise, the file is created.  Note that if the Flashlite should
** accidentally reboot, the prior file is not overwritten.
**
** "Samples" are periodically appended to the file.  Note that the log
** file is opened for a very brief time to avoid losing the entire file
** if power should be lost.
**
** As an additonal safeguard, the log file is copied to a .bk1 file after
** each 25 samples.  To safeguard against the loss of power during this
** copy, the .bk1 file is first copied to a .bk2 file and then the current
** file is copied to the .bk1 file.
**
** Note that the meas_temp routine is a stub intended to simulate the
** making of a temperature measurement.
**
** Important points which are illustrated include;
**
**    Ascertaining whether a file currently exists.
**    Appending to a file.
**    Use of the system() command, in this case, to copy a file.
**    Note the use of an unsigned int for variable n, as the value
**       exceeds 32767.
**    Use of a static in a function.
**
** Note that if power is lost and the system reboots, n will again start
** at zero and thus the log file might contain .. 48, 49, 0.  Although,
** this is a solvable problem, I didn't do so as this may be useful in
** interpretting the data as it indicates there was an interruption.
