-;; Since I discovered Stephen Eglen's excellent iswitchb package, I just

-;; with a minimum of keystrokes, I soon found that opening files in the
-;; old-fashioned way was just too slow - so I decided to write a package
-;; which could open files with the same speed and ease as iswitchb could
-;; switch buffers.
-
-;; I originally wrote a separate ifindf.el package based on a copy of
-;; iswitchb.el, which did for opening files what iswitchb did for
-;; switching buffers.  Along the way, I corrected a few errors in
-;; ifindf which could have found its way back into iswitchb, but since
-;; most of the functionality of the two package was practically
-;; identical, I decided that the proper thing to do was to merge my
-;; ifindf package back into iswitchb.
-;;
-;; This is basically what ido (interactively do) is all about; but I
-;; found it ackward to merge my changes into the "iswitchb-" namespace,
-;; so I invented a common "ido-" namespace for the merged packages.
-;;
-;; This version is based on ido.el version 1.57 released on
-;; gnu.emacs.sources adapted for emacs 22.1 to use command remapping
-;; and optionally hooking the read-buffer and read-file-name functions.
