[xemacs-hg @ 2002-07-23 08:34:59 by youngs] 2002-07-15 Jerry James <james@xemacs.org> * make-docfile.c: Change whitespace and organization to reduce the size of the diff against FSF Emacs sources and synch to Emacs 21.2. Remove unused DO_REALLOC. Mark XEmacs changes and additions more clearly. Reintroduce previously deleted Emacs code inside #if 0 ... #endif. * make-docfile.c (next_extra_elc): Replace goto with do-while. * make-docfile.c (main): Put XEmacs-only args in one place. * make-docfile.c (write_c_args): Change buff to buf to match Emacs. Replace pointer arithmetic with simpler array syntax. * make-docfile.c (scan_c_file): Note that DEFSIMPLE and DEFPRED no longer exist. Correct the "name too long" test (off by one). Die with message if a DEFUN has no docstring instead of hanging. * make-docfile.c (scan_lisp_file): Introduce while loops used in Emacs sources to skip consecutive blank lines. 2002-07-21 John Paul Wallington <jpw@xemacs.org> * process.el (substitute-env-vars): New function; sync with GNU Emacs 21.1.50. (setenv): Add optional arg SUBSTITUTE-ENV-VARS; sync with GNU Emacs 21.1.50. 2002-07-20 Mike Sperber <mike@xemacs.org> * eval.c (run_post_gc_hook): Use more correct flags when running post-gc-hook. 2002-07-20 Mike Sperber <mike@xemacs.org> * process-unix.c (child_setup): Don't try to close file descriptors for chid process once again---it's already being done in close_process_descs. (unix_create_process): Call begin_dont_check_for_quit to inhibit unwanted interaction (and thus breaking of X event synchronicity) in the child. 2002-07-15 Jerry James <james@xemacs.org> * lisp.h: Make Qdll_error visible globally. * symbols.c (check_sane_subr): Revert 2002-06-26 change. Check only if !initialized. * symbols.c (check_module_subr): Add parameter. Duplicate check_sane_subr checks, but signal an error instead of asserting. * symbols.c (defsubr): Use check_module_subr parameter. * symbols.c (defsubr_macro): Ditto.

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.
