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