Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition.
If you work on something for an hour with autosave enabled, then quit,
clicking 'Don't Save' on the dialogue that comes up, then Word deletes all
the autosave files.
This is the correct behaviour, in my opinion. If I decide not to save what
I've written, then I've decided not to save it, and I don't want the
program to make another decision for me.
