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.
