+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; This file has been obsolete since Emacs 23.1.
+
+;; The purpose of this library is to handle command line arguments
+;; when you resume an existing Emacs job.
+
+;; In order to use it, you must put this code in your .emacs file.
+
+;; (add-hook 'suspend-hook 'resume-suspend-hook)
+;; (add-hook 'suspend-resume-hook 'resume-process-args)
+
+;; You can't get the benefit of this library by using the `emacs' command,
+;; since that always starts a new Emacs job.  Instead you must use a
+;; command called `edit' which knows how to resume an existing Emacs job
+;; if you have one, or start a new Emacs job if you don't have one.
+
+;; To define the `edit' command, run the script etc/emacs.csh (if you use CSH),
+;; or etc/emacs.bash if you use BASH.  You would normally do this in your
+;; login script.
+
+;; Stephan Gildea suggested bug fix (address@hidden).
+;; Ideas from Michael DeCorte and other people.
