according to comment at the top of autosaved packages, these files can  
be loaded using Needs[] instead of Get[].

(************************************************************************)
(* This file was generated automatically by the Mathematica front  
end.  *)
(* It contains Initialization cells from a Notebook file,  
which         *)
(* typically will have the same name as this file except ending  
in      *)
(* ".nb" instead of  
".m".                                               *)
(*                                                                      *)
(* This file is intended to be loaded into the Mathematica kernel  
using *)
(* the package loading commands Get or Needs.  Doing so is  
equivalent   *)
(* to using the Evaluate Initialization Cells menu command in the  
front *)
(*  
end.                                                                 *)

it doesn't work for me...

	Needs["phd_thesis_common.m"]
	Needs::cxt: Invalid context specified at position 1 in  
Needs[phd_thesis_common.m]. A context must consist of valid symbol  
names separated by and ending with `. >>

any help/suggestions appreciated.

thanks,
Mitch
