-;;;
-;;; Version 0.043
-;;; 24 May 1990 - When the cursor is at the end of the pages directory
-;;; buffer (which is empty), a `C-c C-c' (pages-directory-goto)
-;;; command now takes you to the end of the buffer.
-;;;
-;;; Version 0.042
-;;; 16 May 1990 - Since people often handle address and other files
-;;; differently, variable `pages-directory-for-addresses-narrowing-p'
-;;; now specifies whether `pages-directory-goto' should narrow
-;;; addresses buffer to entry to which it goes.
-;;; `pages-directory-buffer-narrowing-p' continues to control
-;;; narrowing of pages buffer.
-;;;
-;;; `add-new-page' documentation string now explains
-;;; that the value of the inserted page-delimiter is a `^L'.
-;;;
-;;; `pages-directory-previous-regexp' definition reworded.
-;;;
-;;; Removed unneeded defvar for `pages-directory-buffer'.
-;;;
-;;; Version 0.041 
-;;; 14 May 1990 - `pages-last-search' bound to nil initially.
-;;; Remove unnecessary lines from `search-pages' definition.
-;;;
-;;; Version 0.04 
-;;; 18 Mar 1990 - `pages-directory' creates a directory for only the
-;;; accessible portion of the buffer; it does not automatically widen
-;;; the buffer.
-;;;  
-;;; However, `pages-directory-for-addresses' does widen the addresses'
-;;; buffer before constructing the addresses' directory.
-;;;
-;;; Version 0.032
-;;; 20 Feb 1990 - `pages-directory-for-addresses' no longer copies
-;;; first line of addresses directory to kill-ring
-;;;
-;;; Remove `(kill-all-local-variables)' line from
-;;; `pages-directory-address-mode' so Emacs will not be told to forget
-;;; the name of the file containing the addresses!
-;;;
-;;; Version 0.031
-;;; 15 Feb 1990 - `pages-directory-goto' no longer erroneously selects
-;;; the entry on the following line when the cursor is at the end of
-;;; the line, but selects the entry on which the cursor rests.  
-;;;
-;;; `pages-directory-address-mode' now sets local variables and enables
-;;; `describe-mode' to describe Addresses Directory mode.
-;;;
-;;; `pages-directory-for-addresses' now sets the buffer-modified flag
-;;; for the Addresses Directory to nil.
-;;;
-;;; The documentation string for both `pages-directory-mode' and
-;;; `pages-directory-address-mode' now provide a lookup for the
-;;; `pages-directory-goto' keybinding.
-;;;
-;;; Version 0.03
-;;; 10 Feb 1990 - Incorporated a specialized extension of the
-;;; `pages-directory' command called `pages-directory-for-addresses'
-;;; and bound it to ctl-x-ctl-p-map "d" for integration with other
-;;; page functions.  This function finds a file, creates a directory
-;;; for it using the `pages-directory' command, and displays the
-;;; directory.  It is primarily for lists of addresses and the like.
-;;;
-;;; The difference between this and the `pages-directory' command is
-;;; that the `pages-directory-for-addresses' command presumes a
-;;; default addresses file (although you may optionally specify a file
-;;; name) and it switches you to the directory for the file, but the
-;;; `pages-directory' command creates a directory for the current
-;;; buffer, and pops to the directory in another window.
-;;;
-;;; `pages-directory' now places the cursor over the header line of
-;;; the page in which point was located in the pages buffer.
-;;;
-;;; New `set-page-delimiter' command sets  the buffer local value of
-;;; the page-delimiter variable.  With prefix arg, resets function to
-;;; original value.  (Quicker to use than `edit-options'.)
-;;;
-;;; Version 0.02
-;;; 9 Feb 1990 - `pages-directory' now displays the
-;;; first line that contains a non-blank character that follows the
-;;; `page-delimiter'; this may be the rest of the line that contains
-;;; the `page-delimiter' or a line following.  (In most instances, the
-;;; line containing a non-blank character is a line of text.)
-;;; Modification includes changes to `pages-copy-header-and-position'.
-;;;
-;;; Each directory created by `pages-directory' now possesses a name
-;;; derived on the name of the pages buffer.  Consequently, you may
-;;; create several different directories, one for each pages buffer.
-;;;
-;;; `sort-pages-in-region' no longers requires the text to start on
-;;; the line immediately following the line containing the
-;;; page-delimiter.
-;;;
-;;; `pages-directory-goto' no longer narrows to the page
-;;; automatically.  Instead, if you wish it to narrow to the page, set
-;;; variable pages-directory-buffer-narrowing-p to a non-nil value.
-;;; Default is nil; this is an experiment to see whether it is useful
-;;; to see the surrounding context.
-;;;
-;;; Version 0.011
-;;; 2 Feb 1990 - `add-new-page': removed extraneous space.
-;;;
-;;; Version 0.01 
-;;; 28 Jan 1990 - Initial definitions.
