An igc file should always be written so the analysis people know the logger has 
been 
read.

Of course igc format has no 'alert' method to say 'this is a blank track' but 
all 
the headers and stuff is written so the file is identifiable internally, and 
the 
FRDL operator is given a clear message 'no track found' when it is downloaded 
(not).
