Overview
********

   EUDC, the "Emacs Unified Directory Client", provides a common user
interface to access directory servers using different directory
protocols.

   Currently supported back-ends are:

   * LDAP, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol

   * CCSO PH/QI

   * BBDB, Big Brother's Insiduous Database

   The main features of the EUDC interface are:

   * Queries using a customizable form

   * Inline query expansion (for instance you can expand a name to an
     email address in a mail message buffer using a server as an
     address book)

   * Multiple servers can be tried in turn until a match is found for an
     inline query

   * Fast minibuffer queries for email addresses and phone numbers

   * Interface to BBDB to let you insert server records into your own
     BBDB database (Note: BBDB.)
