1More Neat Stuff for your Emacs -*-Outline-*- 2 3This file describes GNU Emacs programs and resources that are maintained 4by other people. Some of these may become part of the Emacs distribution 5in the future. 6 7* The LCD archive 8 9There is a large collection of Emacs Lisp code available for FTP at 10archive.cis.ohio-state.edu; it is actively maintained by Dave Brennan 11<brennan@hal.com> and Dave Sill <de5@ornl.gov>. 12 13To get started using this archive, do: 14 15 ftp archive.cis.ohio-state.edu 16 17Once you're in FTP, do 18 19 cd pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive 20 bin 21 get lispdir.el.Z 22 get LCD-datafile.Z 23 24and exit. Then do: 25 26 compress -d *.Z 27 28The lispdir.el package will help you search for useful packages in the 29LCD-datafile, which is a list of the archive constants. It will even 30fetch them for you on command. 31 32* Eric Ludlam's etalk system 33 34Eric Ludlam has written a C program and Emacs Lisp code to do Internet talk 35through an Emacs window. The package also includes Emacs Lisp code which 36assists you in using talk to play a number of different interactive games. 37 38This system seems to be quite nicely put together and is well documented 39with a texinfo file that you can integrate into Emacs's own on-line help. 40It's too large and specialized to include in the Emacs distribution, though. 41 42Sources of this system are available for FTP at 43 44 nic.umass.edu 128.119.166.14 45 46Look under pub/contrib. As of March 23 1993, there are two relevant files: 47 48 pub/contrib/etalk0.6B.tar.Z --- sources of the talk system 49 pub/contrib/egames0.6B.tar.Z --- more game-support files 50 51We don't know whether this can use the additional features in GNU talk. 52 53
