So, it looks like this file/package is not part of GNU Emacs/ntemacs (it's not unusual for XEmacs and GNU Emacs to have different packages). This doesn't mean that you can't use this package with GNU Emacs, you just need to set it up yourself (which may be very easy or quite difficult, depending on what's in the package, and whether the requisite hooks/mechanisms for using it are already in GNU Emacs or are easy to add).

Date: Mon, 14 Oct 1996 10:45:04 -0700 You are right. I should have said that I am using the external package auto-save.el. It works with both XEmacs and (GNU) Emacs, however. I also have the UNIX version of 19.34 Emacs, and the package works fine there. So I was hoping it would also work with NTEmacs Maybe I'll have to live with the backups files being spread around on the NT :-). >>>>> On Mon, 14 Oct 1996 10:00:09 -0500 (CDT), Milt Epstein said: ME> On Fri, 11 Oct 1996, Levent N Atasoy wrote: >> Autoaves issue an error message and I don't see any files in the >> auto-save-directory on the NT. >> >> I have the following setup, which works fine in XEmacs. >> Any pointers will be appreciated. >> >> (require 'auto-save) >> (setq >> auto-save-directory (expand-file-name "~/.autosave/") >> auto-save-hash-directory (expand-file-name "~/.autosave/") >> auto-save-directory-fallback auto-save-directory >> auto-save-hash-p nil >> auto-save-interval 2000 ) ME> The emacs lisp directory that comes with ntemacs (I have 19.32) has no ME> auto-save.el file, and I couldn't find any reference to a variable ME> auto-save-directory (for example).
