[xemacs-hg @ 2002-11-27 07:15:02 by ben] bug fixes, profiling debugging improvements configure.in: Check for GCC version and only use -Wpacked in v3. .cvsignore: Add .idb, .ilk for MS Windows VC++. cl-macs.el: Document better. cmdloop.el: Removed. Remove nonworking breakpoint-on-error now that debug-on-error works as documented. help.el: Extract out with-displaying-help-buffer into a more general mechanism. lib-complete.el: Support thunks in find-library-source-path. startup.el: Don't catch errors when noninteractive, because that makes stack traces from stack-trace-on-error useless. .cvsignore: Windows shit. alloc.c: Better redisplay-related assert. elhash.c: Comment change. eval.c: Don't generate large warning strings (e.g. backtraces) when they will be discarded. Implement debug-on-error as documented -- it will enter the debugger and crash when an uncaught signal happens noninteractively and we are --debug. Better redisplay-related asserts. frame-msw.c, frame.c, lisp.h, redisplay.c, scrollbar-gtk.c, scrollbar-x.c, signal.c, sysdep.c: Fix up documentation related to QUIT (which CANNOT garbage-collect under any circumstances), and to redisplay critical sections. lread.c: Add load-ignore-out-of-date-elc-files, load-always-display-messages, load-show-full-path-in-messages for more robust package compilation and debugging. profile.c: Overhaul profile code. Change format to include call count and be extensible for further info. Remove call-count-profile-table. Add set-profiling-info. See related profile.el changes (which SHOULD ABSOLUTELY be in the core! Get rid of xemacs-devel and xemacs-base packages *yesterday*!).

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.
