More Neat Stuff for your Emacs 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. Others we unfortunately can't distribute, even though they are free software, because we lack legal papers for copyright purposes. Also included are sites where development versions of some packages distributed with Emacs may be found. You might also look at the Emacs web page . If you use the Windows-32 version of Emacs, see the NTEmacs sites listed in the FAQ. Please submit a bug report if you find that any of the addresses listed here fail. * The `Emacs Lisp List' at has pointers to sources of a large number of packages. * gnu.emacs.sources Packages posted to the gnu.emacs.sources newsgroup (see etc/MAILINGLISTS) might be archived specifically (try a web search engine) or retrievable from general Usenet archive services. * Maintenance versions of some packages distributed with Emacs You might find bug-fixes or enhancements in these places. * Ada: * Autorevert, CWarn and Follow: * Battery and Info Look: * BibTeX: * BS: * Calculator: * CC mode: * CPerl: * Ediff and Viper: * Eldoc and Rlogin: * EShell: * EUDC: * Expand: * Etags: * Find Func: * Flyspell: * Fortune: * Gnus: * Ffap: (And some addons for it.) * Hideshow: * Ispell: * Iswitchb: * PC Selection: * PCL-CVS: * PS mode: * PS-print: * QuickURL: * RefTeX: * Speedbar, Checkdoc etc: * SQL: * Sregex: * Webjump: * Whitespace; * Auxilliary files * (Tex)info files for use with Info-look that don't come from GNU packages: * Scheme: * LaTeX: (or CTAN mirrors) * Perl: (or CPAN mirrors) * Packages and add-ons not bundled with Emacs Various major packages or useful additions aren't distributed as part of Emacs for various reasons, sometimes because their authors haven't made a copyright assignment to the FSF. Some of them may be integrated in the future. You might like to check whether they are packaged for your system. Several are for Debian GNU/Linux in particular. * AUCTeX: fancy (La)TeX support: There's an AUCTeX mail list/newsgroup: . * BBDB: personal Info Rolodex integrated with mail/news: [You might want to set the coding system of your .bbdb file to emacs-mule, say by adding `("\\.bbdb\\'" . emacs-mule)' to `file-coding-system-alist' for non-ASCII characters.] * Calc: computer algebra and numerical calculations: From GNU distribution mirrors. * CJK-emacs: Converting MULE-encoded text to TeX: and mirrors of the `CTAN' TeX archives. * Dismal: spreadsheet: * EDB: database: Not maintained? * EIEIO (object system), ETalk (interface to Internet talk): * EFS: enhanced version of ange-ftp: Version 1.16 is said not to work properly with Emacs 20. * Elib library: From GNU distribution mirrors. (Much of this functionality is now in Emacs.) * Emacspeak -- A Speech Output Subsystem For Emacs: * Gnuserv: Enhanced emacsclient/emacsserver. See also for other Friedman Emacs hacks. * hm--html-menus: HTML-specific editing.

This does more than the built-in utf-8 coding system. * Mailcrypt: PGP and GPG support. PGP isn't free software, but GPG, the GNU Privacy Guard, is a free replacement . * Pointers to MIME packages: * PSGML: DTD-aware serious SGML/XML editing. * Tamago: Chinese/Japanese/Korean input method Emacs Lisp package to provide input methods for CJK characters. It can use these background conversion servers: FreeWnn (jserver, cserver, tserver), Wnn6, SJ3 Ver.2 * Tramp: Remote file access via rsh/ssh * VM (View Mail): Alternative mail reader. There is a VM newsgroup: * W3: Web browser. There's a W3 mail list/newsgroup and a W3 development mail list/newsgroup . * X-Symbol: Quasi-WYSIWYG editing of TeX & al. (It will be improved to take better advantage of Emacs 21 features.) Local Variables: mode: text mode: view eval: (goto-address) End:
