-;; Search a database of files and use dired commands on
-;; the result.
-;;
-\f
-;;;;; 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 "c:/users/peter/fcodes")
-;; (defvar locate-make-command-line 'nt-locate-make-command-line)
-;;
-;; (defun nt-locate-make-command-line (arg)
-;; (list "grep" "-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 /"
