archive is not particularly well organized or easy to retrieve
individual postings from, but pretty much everything is there.

The archive is at @uref{ftp://ftp-mailing-list-archives.gnu.org}.

The archive can be browsed over the web at 
@uref{http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/, the GNU mail archive}.

Web-based Usenet search services, such as
@uref{http://groups.google.com, Google}, also archive the
@code{gnu.*} groups.

the string @samp{(DOS)} will appear near the left edge of the mode line;
on DOS and Windows, where the DOS end-of-line (EOL) format is the
default, a backslash (@samp{\}) will appear in the mode line.

If you are running a version of Emacs before 20.1, get @code{crypt++}
(@pxref{Packages that do not come with Emacs}).  Among other things, 
@code{crypt++} transparently modifies MS-DOS files as they are loaded
and saved, allowing you to ignore the different conventions that Unix
and MS-DOS have for delineating the end of a line.

distribution site, sources are available as

@uref{ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/emacs-@value{VER}.tar.gz}

The above will obviously change as new versions of Emacs come out.  For
instance, when Emacs 21.42 is released, it will most probably be
available as

@uref{ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/emacs-21.42.tar.gz}

Again, you should use one of the GNU mirror sites (see @ref{Current GNU
distributions}, and adjust the URL accordingly) so as to reduce load on
@file{ftp.gnu.org}.

@uref{http://www.anc.ed.ac.uk/~stephen/emacs/ell.html, The Emacs Lisp
List (ELL)}, maintained by @email{stephen@@anc.ed.ac.uk, Stephen Eglen},
aims to provide one compact list with links to all of the current Emacs
Lisp files on the internet.  The ELL can be browsed over the web, or
from Emacs with @uref{http://www.anc.ed.ac.uk/~stephen/emacs/ell.el, 
the @file{ell} package}.

Many authors post their packages to the @uref{news:gnu.emacs.sources,
Emacs sources newsgroup}.  You can search the archives of this
group with @uref{http://groups.google.com, Google}, for example.

@cindex @code{sh-mode}
@cindex @code{cc-mode}

Most of these modes are now available in standard Emacs distribution.
To get additional modes, see @ref{Finding a package with particular
functionality}.  

Barry Warsaw's @code{cc-mode} now works for C, C@t{++}, Objective-C, and
Java code.  It is distributed with Emacs, but has
@uref{http://cc-mode.sourceforge.net/, its own homepage}.
