Some of these may become part of the Emacs distribution +in the future. + +* 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 + and Dave Sill . + +To get started using this archive, do: + + ftp archive.cis.ohio-state.edu + +Once you're in FTP, do + + cd pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive + bin + get lispdir.el.Z + get LCD-datafile.Z + +and exit. Then do: + + compress -d *.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. + +* Eric Ludlam's etalk system + +Eric Ludlam has written a C program and Emacs Lisp code to do Internet talk +through an Emacs window. The package also includes Emacs Lisp code which +assists you in using talk to play a number of different interactive games. + +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. + +Sources of this system are available for FTP at + + nic.umass.edu 128.119.166.14 + +Look under pub/contrib. As of March 23 1993, there are two relevant files: + + pub/contrib/etalk0.6B.tar.Z --- sources of the talk system + pub/contrib/egames0.6B.tar.Z --- more game-support files + +We don't know whether this can use the additional features in GNU talk. +
