Correct, but for most *nix installs running with FORCED WRITES = OFF is
acceptable. FORCED WRITES = ON is only required when **absolutely** no
data loss allowed.

The *nix disk cache processes are much more intelligent that those of MS
Win.

In fact, without Forced Writes = ON, MS Win virtually writes nothing to
disk -- ever. Which can lead to the loss of all work/database changes.
