Autosave.

Hi

I hope this is not a FAQ, but I have searched all over and cannot find
an answer. I have two versions of emacs on OS/2 19.38 & 20.6

I cannot get auto-save to work - I have this in .emacs - which I
cribbed from somewhere:

(setq auto-save-directory (expand-file-name "~/autosaves/")
      auto-save-directory-fallback auto-save-directory
      auto-save-hash-p t
      ange-ftp-auto-save t
      ange-ftp-auto-save-remotely nil
      ;; now that we have auto-save-timeout, let's crank this up
      ;; for better interactive response.
      auto-save-interval 2000
      )

(require 'auto-save)


When 19.38 starts it throws an error of 
Signaling: (void-variable Auto-save-name-in-fixed-directory)
  byte-code(.........)
  require(auto-save)


20.5 does not even get this far 

(d:/apps/emacs/20.6/bin/emacs.exe -debug-init)
Loading disp-table...
Loading disp-table...done
Loading server...
Loading server...done
Starting process: no such file or directory

Nice if it would say what :-)

Both errors appear *after*  Loading server...done

I have auto-save 1.26

TIA
