1 More Neat Stuff for your Emacs -*-Outline-*-
|
|
|
2
|
|
|
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 distribution
|
|
|
5 in the future.
|
|
|

|
|
|
7 * The LCD archive
|
|
|
8
|
|
|
9 There is a large collection of Emacs Lisp code available for FTP at
|
|
|
10 archive.cis.ohio-state.edu; it is actively maintained by Dave Brennan
|
|
|
11 <brennan@hal.com> and Dave Sill <de5@ornl.gov>.
|
|
|
12
|
|
|
13 To get started using this archive, do:
|
|
|
14
|
|
|
15 ftp archive.cis.ohio-state.edu
|
|
|
16
|
|
|
17 Once you're in FTP, do
|
|
|
18
|
|
|
19 cd pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive
|
|
|
20 bin
|
|
|
21 get lispdir.el.Z
|
|
|
22 get LCD-datafile.Z
|
|
|
23
|
|
|
24 and exit. Then do:
|
|
|
25
|
|
|
26 compress -d *.Z
|
|
|
27
|
|
|
28 The lispdir.el package will help you search for useful packages in the
|
|
|
29 LCD-datafile, which is a list of the archive constants. It will even
|
|
|
30 fetch them for you on command.
|
|
|

|
32 * Eric Ludlam's etalk system
|
|
|
33
|
|
|
34 Eric Ludlam has written a C program and Emacs Lisp code to do Internet talk
|
|
|
35 through an Emacs window. The package also includes Emacs Lisp code which
|
|
|
36 assists you in using talk to play a number of different interactive games.
|
|
|
37
|
|
|
38 This system seems to be quite nicely put together and is well documented
|
|
|
39 with a texinfo file that you can integrate into Emacs's own on-line help.
|
|
|
40 It's too large and specialized to include in the Emacs distribution, though.
|
|
|
41
|
|
|
42 Sources of this system are available for FTP at
|
|
|
43
|
|
|
44 nic.umass.edu 128.119.166.14
|
|
|
45
|
|
|
46 Look under pub/contrib. As of March 23 1993, there are two relevant files:
|
|
|
47
|
|
|
48 pub/contrib/etalk0.6B.tar.Z --- sources of the talk system
|
|
|
49 pub/contrib/egames0.6B.tar.Z --- more game-support files
|
|
|
50
|
|
|
51 We don't know whether this can use the additional features in GNU talk.
