;;; Commentary:

;; Tramp's main Emacs version for development is GNU Emacs 23.  This
;; package provides compatibility functions for GNU Emacs 21, GNU
;; Emacs 22 and XEmacs 21.4+.

;;; Code:

(eval-when-compile

  ;; Pacify byte-compiler.
  (require 'cl))

(eval-and-compile

  (require 'custom)

  ;; Load the appropriate timer package.
  (if (featurep 'xemacs)

  ;; tramp-util offers integration into other (X)Emacs packages like
  ;; compile.el, gud.el etc.  Not necessary in Emacs 23.

    ;; We check whether `start-file-process' is an alias.

  ;; is loaded, we need to pull in the integration module.  Not
  ;; necessary in Emacs 23.
