+;; Search a database of files and use dired commands on

+;;
+
+;; Installation:
+;;
+;; Place the following in your .emacs file:
+;; 
+;; ;; redefines dired-get-filename as a switch function
+;;
+;; (require 'advice)
+;; (defadvice dired-get-filename (around check-mode activate)
+;;   "Use an alternative function in Locate mode"
+;;   (cond ((eq major-mode 'locate-mode)
+;;	  (setq ad-return-value (locate-get-filename)))
+;;	 (t
+;;	  ad-do-it)))
+;;
+;; DOS and WINDOWS Users:
+;;
+;;;;; Building a database of files ;;;;;;;;;
+;; 
+;; You can create a simple files database with a port of the Unix find command
+;; and one of the various Windows NT various scheduling utilities,
+;; for example the AT command from the NT Resource Kit, WinCron which is
+;; included with Microsoft FrontPage, or the shareware NTCron program.
+;;
+;; To set up a function which searches the files database, do something
+;; like this:
+;; 
+;; (defvar locate-fcodes-file       (concat my-home "/fcodes"))
+;; (defvar locate-make-command-line 'nt-locate-make-command-line)
+;; 
+;; (defun nt-locate-make-command-line (arg)
+;;  (cons "grep"
+;;        (mapconcat 'identity
+;; 		  (list "-i" arg locate-fcodes-file)
+;; 		  " ")))
+;;
+;;;;;;;; ADVICE For dired-make-relative: ;;;;;;;;;
+;; 
+;; For certain dired commands to work right, you should also include the
+;; following in your _emacs/.emacs:
+;; 
+;; (defadvice dired-make-relative (before set-no-error activate)
+;;   "For locate mode and Windows, don't return errors"
+;;   (if (and (eq   major-mode  'locate-mode)
+;; 	   (memq system-type (list 'windows-nt 'ms-dos)))
+;;       (ad-set-arg 2 t)
+;;     ))
+;;
+;; Otherwise, dired-make-relative will give error messages like
+;; "FILENAME: not in directory tree growing at /"
+
+;;; Commentary:
+;;
+;; Locate.el provides an interface to a program which searches a
+;; database of file names. By default, this program is the GNU locate
+;; command, but it could also be the BSD-style find command, or even a
+;; user specified command.
+;;
+;; To use the BSD-style "fast find", or any other shell command of the
+;; form 
+;;
+;;   SHELLPROGRAM  Name-to-find
+;;
+;; set the variable locate-command in your .emacs file.
+;;
+;;   To use a more complicated expression, create a function which 
+;; takes a string (the name to find) as input and returns a cons
+;; pair: the car should be the command to be executed, the cdr
+;; should be the arguments, concatenated into a string (including
+;; the name to find). Then do
+;;
+;; (setq locate-make-command-line 'my-locate-command-line) 
+;;
+;; in your .emacs, using the name of your function in place of
+;; my-locate-command-line
+;;
+;; You should make sure that whichever command you use works correctly
+;; from a shell prompt. GNU locate and BSD find expect the file databases
+;; to either be in standard places or located via environment variables.
+;; If the latter, make sure these environment variables are set in
+;; your emacs process
+;;
+;; Locate-mode assumes that each line output from the locate-command
+;; consists exactly of a file name, possibly preceded or trailed by
+;; whitespace. If your file database has other information on the line (for
+;; example, the file size), you will need to redefine the function 
+;; locate-get-file-positions to return a list consisting of the first
+;; character in the file name and the last character in the file name.
+;;
+;; To use locate-mode, simply type M-x locate and then the string
+;; you wish to find. You can use almost all of the dired commands in
+;; the resulting *Locate* buffer.  It is worth noting that your commands
+;; do not, of course, affect the file database. For example, if you
+;; compress a file in the locate buffer, the actual file will be
+;; compressed, but the entry in the file database will not be
+;; affected. Consequently, the database and the filesystem will be out
+;; of sync until the next time the database is updated
+;;
+;; The command locate-with-filter keeps only lines matching a
+;; regular expression; this is often useful to constrain a big search.
