+;;; Commentary:
+
+;;; What is ``mouse-drag.el''?
+;;;
+;;; Doesn't that scroll bar seem far away when you want to scroll?
+;;; This module overloads mouse-2 to do ``throw'' scrolling. You
+;;; click and drag. The distance you move from your original click
+;;; turns into a scroll amount. The scroll amount is scaled
+;;; exponentially to make both large moves and short adjustments easy.
+;;; What this boils down to is that you can easily scroll around the
+;;; buffer without much mouse movement. Finally, clicks which aren't
+;;; drags are passed off to the old mouse-2 binding, so old mouse-2
+;;; operations (find-file in dired-mode, yanking in most other modes)
+;;; still work.
+;;;
+;;; There is an alternative way to scroll, ``drag'' scrolling. You
+;;; can click on a character and then drag it around, scrolling the
+;;; buffer with you. The character always stays under the mouse.
+;;; Compared to throw-scrolling, this approach provides direct
+;;; manipulation (nice) but requires more mouse movement
+;;; (unfortunate). It is offered as an alternative for those who
+;;; prefer it.
+;;;
+;;; If you like mouse-drag, you should also check out mouse-copy
+;;; for ``one-click text copy and move''.
+;;;
+;;; To use mouse-drag, place the following in your .emacs file:
+;;; (require 'mouse-drag)
+;;; -and either-
+;;; (global-set-key [down-mouse-2] 'mouse-drag-throw)
+;;; -or-
+;;; (global-set-key [down-mouse-2] 'mouse-drag-drag)
+;;;
+;;;
+;;;
+;;; Options:
+;;;
+;;; - reverse the throw-scroll direction with \\[mouse-throw-with-scroll-bar]
+;;; - work around a bug with \\[mouse-extras-work-around-drag-bug]
+;;;
+;;;
+;;; History and related work:
+;;;
+;;; One-click copying and moving was inspired by lemacs-19.8.
+;;; Throw-scrolling was inspired by MacPaint's ``hand'' and by Tk's
+;;; mouse-2 scrolling. The package mouse-scroll.el by Tom Wurgler
+;;; <twurgler@goodyear.com> is similar to mouse-drag-throw, but
+;;; doesn't pass clicks through.
+;;;
+;;; These functions have been tested in emacs version 19.30,
+;;; and this package has run in the past on 19.25-19.29.
+;;;
+;;; Originally mouse-drag was part of a larger package.
+;;; As of 11 July 96 the scrolling functions were split out
+;;; in preparation for incorporation into (the future) emacs-19.32.
+;;;
+;;;
+;;; Thanks:
+;;;
+;;; Thanks to Kai Grossjohann
+;;; <grossjoh@dusty.informatik.uni-dortmund.de> for reporting bugs, to
+;;; Tom Wurgler <twurgler@goodyear.com> for reporting bugs and
+;;; suggesting fixes, and to Joel Graber <jgraber@ti.com> for
+;;; prompting me to do drag-scrolling and for an initial
+;;; implementation of horizontal drag-scrolling.

+;;;
+;;; Old changes, for reference:
+;;;
+;;; What's new with mouse-extras 2.21?
+;;;
+;;; - support for emacs-19.{29,30}
+;;; - point now stays on the visible screen during horizontal scrolling
+;;; (bug identified and fix suggested by Tom Wurgler <twurgler@goodyear.com>)
+;;; - better work-around for lost-mouse-events bug (supports double/triple
+;;; clicks), see \\[mouse-extras-work-around-drag-bug] for details.
+;;; - work-around for lost-mouse-events bug now is OFF by default;
+;;; enable it if you have problems
