As per the request of various consultants, I have taught ez to have a
more user-specific filename for the checkpoint file. With the next
release, ez will closely follow the gnu-emacs conventions for checkpoint
file naming:
<CheckpointDirectory>/ #uid@ful@path@name#.<CheckpointExtension>
(where CheckpointDirectory and CheckpointExtension are preferences that
users can set, to override the defaults of "/usr/tmp" and ".CKP"
respectively.)
For example, if I were editing /u2/wdc/rt/document/scratch, the
checkpoint file would be:
/usr/tmp/#11306@u2@wdc@rt@document@scratch#.CKP
(my user id is 11306, and that is where that number comes from.)
-wdc
