 In adopting this @file{dired-x.el} to GNU Emacs v19 some material that has
 been incorporated into @file{dired.el} and @file{dired-aux.el} of the GNU Emacs
 19 distribution has been removed and some material was modified for agreement
 with the functions in @file{dired.el} and @file{dired-aux.el}.  For example,
 the code using @code{gmhist} history functions was replaced with code using

-If @file{dired-x.el} was @emph{not} bundled with the version of GNU Emacs
-installed at your site (i.e., not in the default @file{../lisp} directory)
-then you must put the file @file{dired-x.el} in a directory known to GNU
-Emacs.  Examine the variable @code{load-path} for a list of these directories.
-If you wish to add a new directory on this list of directories use something
-like this in your @file{.emacs} file
-
-@example
-;;; LOAD PATH
-(setq load-path (append
-                 load-path ; default at top
-                 (list 
-                  "/the/directory/where/you/put/dired-x")))
-@end example
-
-@noindent If you wish to put the new directory at the head of the list (where
-it will be found first) then you should use instead
-
-@example
-;;; LOAD PATH
-(setq load-path (append
-                 (list 
-                  "/the/directory/where/you/put/dired-x")
-                 load-path)) ; default at bottom
-@end example
-
-You must also byte compile the file (for example, hitting @kbd{B} in
-@code{dired-mode}).  When byte-compiling @file{dired-x.el} you may get
-messages about functions @code{vm-visit-folder}, @code{Man-notify-when-ready},
-and @code{reporter-submit-bug-report} not being defined.  These are warnings
-and should be ignored.
-
-@noindent CAUTION: If you are using a version of GNU Emacs earlier than 19.20
-than you may have to edit @file{dired.el}.  The copy of @file{dired.el} in GNU
-Emacs versions earlier than 19.20 incorrectly had the call to @code{run-hooks}
-@emph{before} the call to @code{provide}.  In such a case, it is possible that
-byte-compiling and/or loading dired can cause an infinite loop.  To prevent
-this, make sure the line of code
-
-@example
-        (run-hooks 'dired-load-hook)
-@end example
-
-@noindent is the @emph{last} executable line in the file @file{dired.el}.
-That is, make sure it comes @emph{after} the line
