3 The Cookie package--nodal data in a buffer
********************************************

If you want to have structured nodal data in a buffer, the cookie
package can be a help to you.

   Cookie is a package that implements a connection between a dll (a
doubly linked list) and the contents of a buffer.  Possible uses are
`dired' (have all files in a list, and show them), `buffer-list',
`kom-prioritize' (in the LysKOM elisp client) and others.  The CVS
control package `pcl-cvs.el' uses `cookie.el'.
