Is it possible to prevent emacs auto saving the filename~?
I know that emacs auto save a file named filename~ when I modified the file filename, but I do not like the autosaved copy, could i stop this function? thanks -- My platform is Gnu/Linux Debian(sid-amd64, lenny-intelx86) Gnome Mozilla/Iceweasel Gmail/Evolution Gtkmm/Anjuta/Emacs Scim Totem Pidgin. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
