   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 bug 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 * The `Emacs Lisp List' at
  44   <URL:http://www.anc.ed.ac.uk/%7Estephen/emacs/ell.html> has pointers
  45   to sources of a large number of packages.
  46
  47 * gnu.emacs.sources
  48
  49 Packages posted to the gnu.emacs.sources newsgroup (see
  50 etc/MAILINGLISTS) might be archived specifically (try a web search
  51 engine) or retrievable from general Usenet archive services.
  52
  53 * Maintenance versions of some packages distributed with Emacs

 139
 140 Various major packages or useful additions aren't distributed as part of
 141 Emacs for various reasons, sometimes because their authors haven't made
 142 a copyright assignment to the FSF.  Some of them may be integrated in
 143 the future.
