%%% File : lfe_init.erl
%%% Author : Robert Virding
%%% Purpose : Lisp Flavoured Erlang init module.
%%% This little beauty allows you to start Erlang with the LFE shell
%%% running and still has ^G and user_drv enabled. Use it as follows:
%%%
%%% erl -user lfe_init
%%%
%%% Add -pa to find modules if necessary.
%%%
%%% Thanks to Attila Babo for showing me how to do this.
%%% The calls needed to start user/user_drv have changed from OTP
%%% 26. In the release after 26 the module user no longer exists and
%%% user_drv has a different interface. Note that this is sort of
%%% documented but these modules are not included in the standard
%%% Erlang documentation.

-export([start/0]).
-include("lfe.hrl").
