  28 ;;; Commentary:
  29
  30 ;; This package is for running a remote compilation and using emacs to parse
  31 ;; the error messages. It works by rsh'ing the compilation to a remote host
  32 ;; and parsing the output. If the file visited at the time remote-compile was
  33 ;; called was loaded remotely (ange-ftp), the host and user name are obtained
  34 ;; by the calling ange-ftp-ftp-name on the current directory. In this case the
  35 ;; next-error command will also ange-ftp the files over. This is achieved
  36 ;; automatically because the compilation-parse-errors function uses
  37 ;; default-directory to build its file names. If however the file visited was
  38 ;; loaded locally, remote-compile prompts for a host and user and assumes the
  39 ;; files mounted locally (otherwise, how was the visited file loaded).
  40
  41 ;; See the user defined variables section for more info.
  42
  43 ;; I was contemplating redefining "compile" to "remote-compile" automatically
  44 ;; if the file visited was ange-ftp'ed but decided against it for now. If you
  45 ;; feel this is a good idea, let me know and I'll consider it again.
  46
  47 ;; Installation:
  48
  49 ;; To use rcompile, you also need to give yourself permission to connect to
  50 ;; the remote host.  You do this by putting lines like:
  51
  52 ;; monopoly alon
  53 ;; vme33
  54 ;;
  55 ;; in a file named .rhosts in the home directory (of the remote machine).
  56 ;; Be careful what you put in this file. A line like:
  57 ;;
  58 ;; +
  59 ;;
  60 ;; Will allow anyone access to your account without a password. I suggest you
  61 ;; read the rhosts(5) manual page before you edit this file (if you are not
  62 ;; familiar with it already)
