[xemacs-hg @ 2002-05-23 11:46:08 by ben] fix for raymond toy's crash, alloca crashes, some recover-session improvements files.el: Recover-session improvements: Only show session files where some files can actually be recovered, and show in chronological order. subr.el, menubar-items.el: As promised to rms, the functionality in truncate-string-with-continuation-dots has been merged into truncate-string-to-width. Change callers in menubar-items.el. select.el: Document some of these funs better. Fix problem where we were doing own-clipboard twice. Makefile.in.in: Add alloca.o. Ensure that alloca.s doesn't compile into alloca.o, but allocax.o (not that it's currently used or anything.) EmacsFrame.c, abbrev.c, alloc.c, alloca.c, callint.c, callproc.c, config.h.in, device-msw.c, device-x.c, dired.c, doc.c, editfns.c, emacs.c, emodules.c, eval.c, event-Xt.c, event-msw.c, event-stream.c, file-coding.c, fileio.c, filelock.c, fns.c, glyphs-gtk.c, glyphs-msw.c, glyphs-x.c, gui-x.c, input-method-xlib.c, intl-win32.c, lisp.h, lread.c, menubar-gtk.c, menubar-msw.c, menubar.c, mule-wnnfns.c, nt.c, objects-msw.c, process-nt.c, realpath.c, redisplay-gtk.c, redisplay-output.c, redisplay-x.c, redisplay.c, search.c, select-msw.c, sysdep.c, syswindows.h, text.c, text.h, ui-byhand.c: Fix Raymond Toy's crash. Repeat to self: 2^21 - 1 is NOT the same as (2 << 21) - 1. Fix crashes due to excessive alloca(). replace alloca() with ALLOCA(), which calls the C alloca() [which uses xmalloc()] when the size is too big. Insert in various places calls to try to flush the C alloca() stored info if there is any. Add MALLOC_OR_ALLOCA(), for places that expect to be alloca()ing large blocks. This xmalloc()s when too large and records an unwind-protect to free -- relying on the caller to unbind_to() elsewhere in the function. Use it in concat(). Use MALLOC instead of ALLOCA in select-msw.c. xemacs.mak: Add alloca.o.

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.
