 This file describes GNU Emacs programs and resources that are maintained

-in the future.
+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
-archive.cis.ohio-state.edu; it is actively maintained by Dave Brennan
-<[e-mail]> and Dave Sill <[e-mail]>.
+ftp.cis.ohio-state.edu and various mirrors.  Unfortunately it isn't
+currently actively maintained; a volunteer to take it over would be
+welcome.
 
 To get started using this archive, do:
 
-	ftp archive.cis.ohio-state.edu
+	ftp ftp.cis.ohio-state.edu
 
 Once you're in FTP, do
 
-	cd pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive
+	cd pub/emacs-lisp
 	bin
 	get lispdir.el.Z
 	get LCD-datafile.Z
 
 and exit.  Then do:
 
-	compress -d *.Z
+	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.

-This system seems to be quite nicely put together and is well documented
-with a texinfo file that you can integrate into Emacs's own on-line help.
-It's too large and specialized to include in the Emacs distribution, though.

+
+* Unpacked Emacs sources
+
+Erik Naggum maintains an unpacked copy of the Emacs distribution
+<URL:ftp://ftp.uio.no/pub/emacs/>, which may be useful for checking
+something in a later release without downloading the whole distribution.
