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.
