[xemacs-hg @ 2003-02-06 06:35:47 by ben] various bug fixes mule/cyril-util.el: Fix compile warning. loadup.el, make-docfile.el, update-elc-2.el, update-elc.el: Set stack-trace-on-error, load-always-display-messages so we get better debug results. update-elc-2.el: Fix typo in name of lisp/mule, leading to compile failure. simple.el: Omit M-S-home/end from motion keys. update-elc.el: Overhaul: -- allow list of "early-compile" files to be specified, not hardcoded -- fix autoload checking to include all .el files, not just dumped ones -- be smarter about regenerating autoloads, so we don't need to use loadup-el if not necessary -- use standard methods for loading/not loading auto-autoloads.el (maybe fixes "Already loaded" error?) -- rename misleading NOBYTECOMPILE flag file. window-xemacs.el: Fix bug in default param. window-xemacs.el: Fix compile warnings. lwlib-Xm.c: Fix compile warning. lispref/mule.texi: Lots of Mule rewriting. internals/internals.texi: Major fixup. Correct for new names of Bytebpos, Ichar, etc. and lots of Mule rewriting. config.inc.samp: Various fixups. Makefile.in.in: NOBYTECOMPILE -> BYTECOMPILE_CHANGE. esd.c: Warning fixes. fns.c: Eliminate bogus require-prints-loading-message; use already existent load-always-display-messages instead. Make sure `load' knows we are coming from `require'. lread.c: Turn on `load-warn-when-source-newer' by default. Change loading message to indicate when we are `require'ing. Eliminate purify_flag hacks to display more messages; instead, loadup and friends specify this explicitly with `load-always-display-messages'. Add spaces when batch to clearly indicate recursive loading. Fassoc() does not GC so no need to gcpro. gui-x.c, gui-x.h, menubar-x.c: Fix up crashes when selecting menubar items due to lack of GCPROing of callbacks in lwlib structures. eval.c, lisp.h, print.c: Don't canonicalize to selected-frame when noninteractive, or backtraces get all screwed up as some values are printed through the stream console and some aren't. Export canonicalize_printcharfun() and use in Fbacktrace().

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.
