   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 <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 * A project previously meant to replace the LCD is at
  44   <URL:http://www.emacs.org/> but also seems to have maintenance
  45   problems at present.
  46
  47 * The `Emacs Lisp List' at
  48   <URL:http://www.anc.ed.ac.uk/%7Estephen/emacs/ell.html> has pointers
  49   to sources of a large number of packages.
  50
  51 * gnu.emacs.sources
  52
  53 Packages posted to the gnu.emacs.sources newsgroup (see
  54 etc/MAILINGLISTS) might be archived specifically (try a web search
  55 engine) or retrievable from general Usenet archive services.
  56
  57 * Maintenance versions of some packages distributed with Emacs
  58
  59 You might find bug-fixes or enhancements in these places.

 141
 142 * Packages and add-ons not bundled with Emacs
 143
 144 Various major packages or useful additions aren't distributed as part of
 145 Emacs for various reasons, sometimes because their authors haven't made
 146 a copyright assignment to the FSF.  Some of them may be integrated in
 147 the future.
 148
 149 You might like to check whether they are packaged for your system.
 150 Several are for Debian GNU/Linux in particular.

 156  * BBDB: personal Info Rolodex integrated with mail/news:
 157    <URL:http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/>
