This is Initz version 0.0.9
===========================

What's the Initz?
-----------------

  Initz handles the switching of various startup initialization files
  of emacsen provided for various environment. According to the
  environment (maybe emacs version, OS type or OS versions) Initz
  reads appropriate init files provided by the user in several
  directories, one for one environment.

Features
--------

  * Init files for each emacs environment are separately stored in one
    directory for each. You also can provide a common directory whose
    init files are read in every environment.

  * When there are init files which are updated, they are automatically
    compiled.

  * You can load init files interactively.

  * A major mode `initz-list' is included which supports browsing and
    editing init files.

  * When an error occurred during compiling or loading init files,
    you can browse and/or edit the files immediately.
