| 1 | More Neat Stuff for your Emacs |
| 2 | |
| 3 | This file describes GNU Emacs programs and resources that are |
| 4 | maintained by other people. Some of these may become part of the |
| 5 | Emacs distribution in the future. Others we unfortunately can't |
| 6 | distribute, even though they are free software, because we lack legal |
| 7 | papers for copyright purposes. Also included are sites where |
| 8 | development versions of some packages distributed with Emacs may be |
| 9 | found. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | You might also look at the Emacs web page |
| 12 | <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html>. If you use the |
| 13 | Windows-32 version of Emacs, see the NTEmacs sites listed in the FAQ. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Please submit a but report if you find that any of the addresses |
| 16 | listed here fail. |

| 18 | * The LCD archive |
| 19 | |
| 20 | There is a large collection of Emacs Lisp code available for FTP at |
| 21 | <URL:ftp://ftp.cis.ohio-state.edu> and various mirrors. At this time, |
| 22 | serious maintenance is resuming after a long hiatus. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | To get started using this archive, do: |
| 25 | |
| 26 | ftp ftp.cis.ohio-state.edu |
| 27 | |
| 28 | Once you're in FTP, do |
| 29 | |
| 30 | cd pub/emacs-lisp |
| 31 | bin |
| 32 | get lispdir.el.Z |
| 33 | get LCD-datafile.Z |
| 34 | |
| 35 | and exit. Then do: |
| 36 | |
| 37 | gunzip *.Z |
| 38 | |
| 39 | The lispdir.el package will help you search for useful packages in the |
| 40 | LCD-datafile, which is a list of the archive constants. It will even |
| 41 | fetch them for you on command. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | * The `Emacs Lisp List' at |
| 44 | <URL:http://www.anc.ed.ac.uk/%7Estephen/emacs/ell.html> has pointers |
| 45 | to sources of a large number of packages. |
| 46 | |
| 47 | * gnu.emacs.sources |
| 48 | |
| 49 | Packages posted to the gnu.emacs.sources newsgroup (see |
| 50 | etc/MAILINGLISTS) might be archived specifically (try a web search |
| 51 | engine) or retrievable from general Usenet archive services. |
| 52 | |
| 53 | * Maintenance versions of some packages distributed with Emacs |
| 54 | |
| 55 | You might find bug-fixes or enhancements in these places. |

| 139 | |
| 140 | Various major packages or useful additions aren't distributed as part of |
| 141 | Emacs for various reasons, sometimes because their authors haven't made |
| 142 | a copyright assignment to the FSF. Some of them may be integrated in |
| 143 | the future. |
