[xemacs-hg @ 2003-02-09 09:33:42 by ben] walk-windows, redisplay fixes console-stream.c: Abort when any attempts to output a stream console are made. Should be caught sooner. event-msw.c: Don't redisplay() during sizing when the frame has not yet been initialized completely. event-stream.c, menubar-msw.c, menubar-x.c, menubar.c, menubar.h: Restore in_menu_callback. Bind it in menubar-{msw,x}.c when calling filter functions and the like. Conditionalize on it, not in_modal_loop, when issuing error in `next-event', otherwise we bite the dust immediately -- event-msw.c purposely calls Fnext_event() in a modal loop, and knows what it's doing. redisplay-output.c: Formatting fixes. redisplay.c, window.c, winslots.h: Delete lots of carcasses of attempts to add redisplay support for font-lock -- `pre/post-redisplay-hook', unimplemented junk from FSF (redisplay-end-trigger, `window-scroll-functions', `window-size-change-functions'). If we want to port some redisplay support from FSF, port the `fontified' property. redisplay.c: Put in a check here (as well as redisplay_device()) for a stream frame. We can get here directly through Lisp fun `redisplay-frame'. Abort if frame not initialized. redisplay.c: Check for stream frames/devices. window.el: walk-windows was broken when a frame was given to WHICH-FRAMES. it would loop forever. The FSF version fixes this but i didn't sync to them because (a) it conses (bad for lazy-lock), (b) it calls select-window.

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.
