- Are you using version 1.25DG of the port? (If not, you should get it.)
- If so, emacs comes pre-dumped in the file etc/EMACS-DATA. This file
- is loaded automatically upon invocation. It takes about 8 seconds to
- load - on a stock amiga - after being dumped. For a description of re-
- dumping, see the file amiga.doc.
-
- >2) How do I get it to not EVER do backups?
- Add `(setq make-backup-files nil)' to your .emacs file.
-
- >3) How do I get it to NEVER do autosave?
- Add `(setq auto-save-default nil)' to your .emacs file.

- >When I exit emacs it tries to write something to my SYS: what? and why?
- Not sure. I don't think this is happening on my machine. It may be saving
- some context information. You may want to examine the variables defined
- in saveconf.el.
-
- Question:
- For anyone else using v1.25 on a stock amiga: Does amiga-set-geometry
- still work for you? It causes emacs to freeze after expanding the window
- on my machine, so I have to resize the window manually each time I invoke
- the editor. It worked fine with 1.24, by the way.
