+#Message-ID: <35E2B899.63A02DF5@ny.ubs.com>
+#Date: Tue, 25 Aug 1998 09:14:01 -0400
+#To: chet@nike.ins.cwru.edu
+#Subject: a newer version of the ksh-style 'autoload'
+
+#enclosed you'll find 'autoload.v3',  a version of the autoloader
+#that emulates the ksh semantics of delaying the resolution (and loading) of the function
+#until its first use.  i took the liberty of simplifying the code a bit although it still uses the
+#same functional breakdown.  i recently went through the exercise of converting
+#my ksh-based environment to bash (a very, very pleasant experience)
+#and this popped out.
+
+# the psuedo-ksh autoloader.
+
+# The first cut of this was by Bill Trost, trost@reed.bitnet.
+# The second cut came from Chet Ramey, chet@ins.CWRU.Edu
+# The third cut came from Mark Kennedy, mtk@ny.ubs.com.  1998/08/25
