More Neat Stuff for your Emacs

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.  Others we unfortunately can't
distribute, even though they are free software, because we lack legal
papers for copyright purposes.  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.  A project to replace it is
underway; see <URL:http://www.emacs.org/>.

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.

* The `Emacs Lisp List' at
  <URL:http://www.anc.ed.ac.uk/~stephen/emacs/ell.html> has pointers
  to sources of a large number of packages.

* 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.
