This has not to do with auto-saving, which happens in a dedicated directory. The purpose of these sym-links is that of semaphores signaling that a particular file has been changed, by whom, and on which computer. It's useful when more than one instance of Emacs is running. And it's not restricted to Emacs.app, whichever version. -- Greetings Pete There are three types of people in this world: those who can count, and those who cannot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
