[gnu.emacs] how to checkpoint and restore multiple buffer session?

young@vlsi.ll.mit.edu (George Young) (04/22/89)

Some of our users are required for admistrative reasons to log out at the end
of each day.  They commonly work with a dozen or so active files in emacs
buffers and one or two windows.  Does anyone have a hack that would let one
save the current configuration of files, buffers, and points (forget the marks)
in a file, and restore that state in a new emacs the next day?  It would need
to be easy to use and moderately robust, since some or our users are very
naive.  I guess per-buffer modes and such might be nice to save too, but we
could live without that since most of the work in in fundamental mode.

I can hack a little elisp if people send just sketches or ideas, but a debugged
package would be greatly appreciated.
