[xemacs-hg @ 2001-05-23 09:59:33 by ben] xemacs.mak: call `ver' to get the exact os version and put it in the installation; suggestion from adrian. behavior-defs.el: Add scroll-in-place, jka-compr, efs, fix up some things. pop.c: Remove BROKEN_CYGWIN. etc\sample.init.el: Rewrite to be much more careful about loading features -- now it decays gracefully even in the complete absence of packages. Also avoid doing obnoxious things when loading efs. configure.in: add some support for eventually turning on file coding by default. Fix numerous places where AC_MSG_WARN had quotes around its arg, which is bad. Replace with []. Same for AC_MSG_ERROR. s\cygwin32.h, s\mingw32.h: remove support for way old beta versions of cygwin. don't put -Wno-sign-compare in the system switches; this isn't a system issue. define BROKEN_SIGIO for cygwin to get C-g support. device-msw.c: signal an error rather than crash with an unavailable network printer (from Mike Alexander). event-msw.c: cleanup headers. fix (hopefully) an error with data corruption when sending to a network connection. fileio.c: Fix evil code that attempts to handle the ~user prefix by (a) always assuming we're referencing ourselves and not even verifying the user -- hence any file with a tilde as its first char is invalid! (b) if there wasn't a slash following the filename, the pointer was set *past* the end of file and we started reading from uninitialized memory. Now we simply treat these as files, always. optionally for 21.4 (doc fix): lread.c: cambia de pas_de_lache_ici -- al minimo usa la palabra certa. frame.c: fix warnings. emacs.c, nt.c, ntproc.c, process-nt.c, realpath.c, unexnt.c: rename MAX_PATH to standard PATH_MAX. process-nt.c, realpath.c: cleanup headers. process-unix.c, sysdep.c, systime.h, syswindows.h: kill BROKEN_CYGWIN and support for way old beta versions of cygwin. sysfile.h: use _MAX_PATH (Windows) preferentially for PATH_MAX if defined. include io.h on Cygwin (we need get_osfhandle()). include sys/fcntl.h always, since we were including it in various header files anyway. unexcw.c: fix up style to conform to standard. remove duplicate definition of PERROR. buffer.c: comment change. database.c, debug.h, device-tty.c, dired-msw.c, glyphs-msw.c: header cleanups (remove places that directly include a system header file, because we have our own layer to do this more cleanly and portably); indentation fixes.

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.
