   3 This file describes GNU Emacs programs and resources that are maintained
   4 by other people.  Some of these may become part of the Emacs
   5 distribution in the future.  Also included are sites where development
   6 versions of some packages distributed with Emacs may be found.
   7
   8 You might also look at the Emacs web page
   9 <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html>.  If you use the
  10 Windows-32 version of Emacs, see the NTEmacs sites listed in the FAQ.

  15 * The LCD archive
  16
  17 There is a large collection of Emacs Lisp code available for FTP at
  18 ftp.cis.ohio-state.edu and various mirrors.  Unfortunately its
  19 maintenance is currently very slow.
  20
  21 To get started using this archive, do:
  22
  23         ftp ftp.cis.ohio-state.edu
  24
  25 Once you're in FTP, do
  26
  27         cd pub/emacs-lisp
  28         bin
  29         get lispdir.el.Z
  30         get LCD-datafile.Z
  31
  32 and exit.  Then do:
  33
  34         gunzip *.Z
  35
  36 The lispdir.el package will help you search for useful packages in the
  37 LCD-datafile, which is a list of the archive constants.  It will even
  38 fetch them for you on command.
  39
  40 * gnu.emacs.sources
  41
  42 Packages posted to the gnu.emacs.sources newsgroup (see
  43 etc/MAILINGLISTS) might be archived specifically (try a web search
  44 engine) or retrievable from general Usenet archive services.
  45
  46 * Maintenance versions of some packages distributed with Emacs
  47
  48 You might find bug-fixes or enhancements in these places.
