- More Neat Stuff for your Emacs -*-Outline-*-
-
- 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.
-
- * 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
- <brennan@hal.com> and Dave Sill <de5@ornl.gov>.
-
- 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.
