#Subject: a newer version of the ksh-style 'autoload'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
