auto-save missing

   	 Hi,
 I have noticed today that auto-save.el file is missing. Is there
anyway I can download this file alone? Thanks

I didn't know there was such a file. What does it provide?

So you have something in your .emacs that causes this error (Warning: Crystal
Ball in Operation). Investigate your .emacs file. We don't have it so
we cannot help. (Crystal balls are not that powerful).

Here is the exact error message. Hope this makes clear

An error has occurred while loading `/homes/jagadeesh/.emacs':

File error: Cannot open load file, auto-save

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.

So either your .emacs file is trying to load auto-save, which is an
error.

For a start search your .emacs for the string auto-save.

If that fails go to the *Message* buffer and see what files were loaded
before the error occurred.  If any of those are yours, check them for
auto-save.

If that fails, post your .emacs if not terribly long or give a URL where
we can find it.
