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 bug report if you find that any of the addresses
16 listed here fail.

116 * Packages and add-ons not bundled with Emacs
117
118 Various major packages or useful additions aren't distributed as part of
119 Emacs for various reasons, sometimes because their authors haven't made
120 a copyright assignment to the FSF. Some of them may be integrated in
121 the future.
122
123 You might like to check whether they are packaged for your system.
124 Several are for Debian GNU/Linux in particular.

133 emacs-mule, say by adding `("\\.bbdb\\'" . emacs-mule)' to
134 `file-coding-system-alist' for non-ASCII characters.]
135

171 other Friedman Emacs hacks.
172
173 The latest versions of gnuserv are maintained by Martin Schwenke,
174 and are available from <URL:http://meltin.net/hacks/emacs/>. Also
