Losing my work in vi!

Time for a change!

I am always losing my work with ex/vi when the system goes down in the
middle of an edit session.  Later, I type

vi -r filename

to restore the file.  Then I make changes a few changes, or if I just
want to save it, I type

:x  (ex)

or

ZZ  (vi)

Guess what happens?  That's right, all of my changes are lost!  How
about setting the 'modified' flag whenever a restore is done?
