Lines: 22 WARNING: the article to which this is a followup contains the same bug as the original "aton.ml" posting in net.emacs. Namely, it turns off file checkpointing completely when you use aton. The fix is to change (setq checkpoint-frequency 0) to (setq needs-checkpointing 0) [I believe there is only one occurrance in the posted file.] Checkpoint-frequency, default 300, is how often to checkpoint any buffer that seems to need it. If set to 0, buffers are @i(never) checkpointed. Needs-checkpointing is a buffer-specific variable which if 0 prevents that particular buffer from being checkpointed. It seems obvious that the latter action was intended. -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci UUCP: {seismo,allegra,brl-bmd}!umcp-cs!chris CSNet: chris@umcp-cs ARPA: chris.umcp-cs@CSNet-Relay
