More Neat Stuff for your Emacs -*-mode: text; outline-minor-mode: t-*- This file describes GNU Emacs programs and resources that are maintained by other people. Some of these may become part of the Emacs distribution in the future. Others we unfortunately can't distribute, even though they are free software, because we lack legal papers for copyright purposes. Also included are sites where development versions of some packages distributed with Emacs may be found. You might also look at the Emacs web page . If you use the Windows-32 version of Emacs, see the NTEmacs sites listed in the FAQ. Please submit a but report if you find that any of the addresses listed here fail. * The LCD archive There is a large collection of Emacs Lisp code available for FTP at ftp.cis.ohio-state.edu and various mirrors. Unfortunately its maintenance is currently very slow. To get started using this archive, do: ftp ftp.cis.ohio-state.edu Once you're in FTP, do cd pub/emacs-lisp bin get lispdir.el.Z get LCD-datafile.Z and exit. Then do: gunzip *.Z The lispdir.el package will help you search for useful packages in the LCD-datafile, which is a list of the archive constants. It will even fetch them for you on command. * gnu.emacs.sources Packages posted to the gnu.emacs.sources newsgroup (see etc/MAILINGLISTS) might be archived specifically (try a web search engine) or retrievable from general Usenet archive services. * Maintenance versions of some packages distributed with Emacs You might find bug-fixes or enhancements in these places. * Ada: * Autorevert and Follow: * Battery and Info Look: * BibTeX: * CC Mode, ELP, Reporter, Supercite: Also home of Python Mode and possibly other good hacks. * CPerl: * Ediff and Viper: * Eldoc, Rlogin and Rsz-mini: * Expand: * Etags: * Find Func: * Flyspell: * Gnus home page: Native MIME support is in development at the time of writing. * Ffap: (And some addons for it.) * Ispell: * Iswitchb: * PC Selection: * PS mode: * RefTeX: * Speedbar, Checkdoc etc: * SQL: * Sregex: * Webjump: *Auxilliary files * (Tex)info files for use with Info-look that don't come from GNU packages: * Scheme: * LaTeX: (or CTAN mirrors) * Perl: (or CPAN mirrors) * Packages and add-ons not bundled with Emacs Various major packages or useful additions aren't distributed as part of Emacs for various reasons, sometimes because their authors haven't made a copyright assignment to the FSF. Some of them may be integrated in the future. * AUCTeX: fancy (La)TeX support: There's an AUCTeX mail list/newsgroup: . * BBDB: personal Info Rolodex integrated with mail/news: * Calc: computer algebra and numerical calculations: From GNU distribution mirrors. * CJK-emacs: Converting MULE-encoded text to TeX: and mirrors of the `CTAN' TeX archives. * Dismal: spreadsheet: * EDB: database: No longer maintained? * EIEIO (object system), ETalk (interface to Internet talk): * EFS: enhanced version of ange-ftp: Version 1.16 is said not to work properly with Emacs 20. * Elib library: From GNU distribution mirrors. * Emacspeak -- A Speech Output Subsystem For Emacs: * Erik Naggum's hacks: * Gnuserv: Enhanced emacsclient/emacsserver.
