+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; Introduction:
+;;
+;; Whenever a file that Emacs is editing has been changed by another
+;; program the user normally have to execute the command `revert-buffer'
+;; to load the new content of the file into Emacs.
+;;
+;; This package contains two minor modes: Global Auto-Revert Mode and
+;; Auto-Revert Mode.  Both modes automatically reverts buffers
+;; whenever the corresponding files have been changed on disk.
+;;
+;; Auto-Revert Mode can be activated for individual buffers.
+;; Global Auto-Revert Mode applies to all file buffers.
+;;
+;; Both modes operates by checking the time stamp of all files at
+;; given intervals, the default is every five seconds.  The check is
+;; aborted whenever the user actually use Emacs.  Hopefully you will
+;; never even notice that this package is active (except that your
+;; buffers will be reverted, of course).
+
+;; Installation:
+;;
+;; To install this package, place it in somewhere on Emacs' load-path,
+;; byte-compile it (not necessary), and place the following lines in
+;; the appropriate init file:
+;;
+;; (autoload 'auto-revert-mode "autorevert" nil t)
+;; (autoload 'turn-on-auto-revert-mode "autorevert" nil nil)
+;; (autoload 'global-auto-revert-mode "autorevert" nil t)
+
+;; Usage:
+;;
+;; Go to the appropriate buffer and press:
+;;   M-x auto-revert-mode RET
+;;
+;; To activate Global Auto-Revert Mode, press:
+;;   M-x global-auto-revert-mode RET
+;;
+;; To activate Global Auto-Revert Mode every time Emacs is started the
+;; following line could be added to your ~/.emacs:
+;;   (global-auto-revert-mode 1)
+;;
+;; The function `turn-on-auto-revert-mode' could be added to any major
+;; mode hook to activate Auto-Revert Mode for all buffers in that
+;; mode.  For example, the following line will activate Auto-Revert
+;; Mode in all C mode buffers:
+;;
+;; (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-revert-mode)
+
+;;; Code:
+
+;; Dependencies:
+
+(require 'timer)
+(eval-when-compile (require 'cl))
+
+
+;; Custom Group:
+;;
+;; The two modes will be placed next to Auto Save Mode under the
+;; Files group under Emacs.
