save-visited-files is a lightweight version of Desktop.el that
only save the files you have open(currently).  This was created because I
couldn't ever get Desktop to work and wanted to persist open files across
sessions.  This file is the result.

; Installation:

To install, put this file somewhere in your load-path and add the following
to your .emacs file:

(require 'save-visited-files)
(turn-on-save-visited-files-mode)

This will load the set of saved files on startup, as well as updating this
list whenever the auto-save-timer is run.  This does not wait to save on
closing emacs because I wanted it to be useful even if emacs crashed.  To
save the visited files at any time, you can call M-x save-visited-files-save.
M-x save-visited-files-restore will open all files saved this way.  To turn
off the saving of files, you need to run (turn-off-save-visited-files-mode)
