Thanks to those who replied to my request for the "best" dired.

I was quite amazed to find that there is such a thing, and at the
request of one respondant I am posting a summary ofwhat I found
to the net.

There is a version of dired by Sebastian Kremer which apparently
includes every directory function a person could ever dream of. I
haven't tried it yet, I just got it. It includes the ability to
do recursive directories, marking files for later commands,
renaming by regexp, diffing files, arbitrary shell commands on
files, and a host of other features.

I am told that this will be the standard dired package with
version 19, and that this version is "beta", but very stable.

This has already been discussed in this news group, so I won't go
into it further here, except to tell persons who are newly
interested in having it that it is available for anonymous ftp
from:

  ftp.cs.buffalo.edu:pub/Emacs/

   dired.shar		Required (100k)
   dired-extra.shar	Optional extra features (20k)
   dired-ange.shar	Optional ange-ftp support (70k)
   dired-txt		discussions from the beta tester list (40k)
   diredall.tar.Z	All of the above (90k)
