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 bug report if you find that any of the addresses
16 listed here fail.
17
18 * The `Emacs Lisp List' at

26 engine) or retrievable from general Usenet archive services.

114
115 Various major packages or useful additions aren't distributed as part of
116 Emacs for various reasons, sometimes because their authors haven't made
117 a copyright assignment to the FSF. Some of them may be integrated in
118 the future.

121 Several are for Debian GNU/Linux in particular.
