+ *** Tramp is now part of the distribution.
+ 
+ This package is similar to Ange-FTP: it allows you to edit remote
+ files.  But whereas Ange-FTP uses FTP to access the remote host,
+ Tramp uses a shell connection.  The shell connection is always used
+ for filename completion and directory listings and suchlike, but for
+ the actual file transfer, you can choose between the so-called
+ `inline' methods (which transfer the files through the shell
+ connection using base64 or uu encoding) and the `out-of-band' methods
+ (which invoke an external copying program such as `rcp' or `scp' or
+ `rsync' to do the copying).
+ 
+ Shell connections can be acquired via `rsh', `ssh', `telnet' and also
+ `su' and `sudo'.
