;;; Installation:

;; To load the package, do
;; (require 'iswitchb)
;; To get the functions in this package bound to keys, do
;; (iswitchb-default-keybindings)
;; 
;; Has been tested on Emacs 19.34 and XEmacs 19.14.  I think it needs
;; at least Emacs 19.29 to run.

;;; Commentary:

;; As you type in a substring, the list of buffers currently matching
;; the substring are displayed as you type.  The list is ordered so

;; first version of this package, iswitch-buffer.  Thanks also to many
;; others for testing earlier versions.
