# This library is no longer being maintained, and is included for backward
# compatibility with Perl 4 programs which may require it.
#
# In particular, this should not be used as an example of modern Perl
# programming techniques.

# Suggested alternative: Term::Complete

;# Author: Wayne Thompson
;#
;# Description:
;#     This routine provides word completion.
;#     (TAB) attempts word completion.
;#     (^D)  prints completion list.
;#      (These may be changed by setting $Complete'complete, etc.)
;#
;# Diagnostics:
;#     Bell when word completion fails.
;#
;# Dependencies:
;#     The tty driver is put into raw mode.
;#
;# Bugs:
;#
;# Usage:
;#     $input = &Complete('prompt_string', *completion_list);
;#         or
;#     $input = &Complete('prompt_string', @completion_list);
