   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.

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