More Neat Stuff for your Emacs         -*-mode: text; outline-minor-mode: t-*-

This file describes GNU Emacs programs and resources that are maintained
by other people.  Some of these may become part of the Emacs
distribution in the future.  Also included are sites where development
versions of some packages distributed with Emacs may be found.

You might also look at the Emacs web page
<URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html>.  If you use the
Windows-32 version of Emacs, see the NTEmacs sites listed in the FAQ.

Please submit a but report if you find that any of the addresses
listed here fail.

* The LCD archive

There is a large collection of Emacs Lisp code available for FTP at
ftp.cis.ohio-state.edu and various mirrors.  Unfortunately its
maintenance is currently very slow.

To get started using this archive, do:

	ftp ftp.cis.ohio-state.edu

Once you're in FTP, do

	cd pub/emacs-lisp
	bin
	get lispdir.el.Z
	get LCD-datafile.Z

and exit.  Then do:

	gunzip *.Z

The lispdir.el package will help you search for useful packages in the
LCD-datafile, which is a list of the archive constants.  It will even
fetch them for you on command.

* gnu.emacs.sources

Packages posted to the gnu.emacs.sources newsgroup (see
etc/MAILINGLISTS) might be archived specifically (try a web search
engine) or retrievable from general Usenet archive services.

* Maintenace versions of some packages distributed with Emacs

You might find bug-fixes or enhancements in these places.

* Packages and add-ons not bundled with Emacs

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