This is a volunteer effort not associated with the Free Software Foundation. Dave Brennan, brennan@dg-rtp.dg.com, is helping me by maintaining the LCD and placing the files in the archive. Emacs Lisp Archive README Last Update: August 21, 1990 General Information This archive contains various pieces and packages of Emacs Lisp code. Emacs Lisp is the language used to extend the GNU Emacs editor published by the Free Software Foundation. Although much Emacs Lisp code is included in the GNU Emacs distribution, many people have written packages to interface with other systems, to better support editing the programming language they use, to add new features, or to change Emacs' default behavior. Most of the contents of this archive have been written by individuals and distributed publicly over the Internet through the info-emacs or info-gnu-emacs mailing lists or the comp.emacs or gnu.emacs newsgroups. Before the Emacs Lisp Archive existed, there was the Lisp Code Directory, or LCD. The LCD is a flat-file database of Emacs Lisp code. Unlike the Archive, the Directory *does* include references to the Emacs Lisp distributed with GNU Emacs. An elisp support package called lispdir has been provided to interface with the LCD. With this package installed, it's a simple matter to determine if a package is available to meet a particular need. The Lisp Code Directory datafile is in LCD-datafile.Z. Documentation for the Lisp Code Directory is in lispdir.doc.Z. Archive Format All of the files in the archive are compressed. Most files are Emacs Lisp code and their names end in ".el.Z". Some shar files, patches, etc, are in the "misc" and "as-is/misc" subdirectories. The archives are maintained by Dave Sill. Send questions, comments, and submissions to de5@ornl.gov.

No, some overworked, understaffed, but good-hearted people at Ohio
State provide the access; after Daves Brennan and Sill provide the
organization. The Emacs Lisp Archive contents are available, along
with all the FSF's released GNU software, via anonymous FTP from
tut.cis.ohio-state.edu or via anonymous UUCP from osu-cis. Write to
uucp@cis.ohio-state.edu (== osu-cis!uucp) for instructions if you need
them.pd@pd@x.co.uk (Paul Davey) (06/06/91)

But are there any plans for a mail server for those of us with no ftp
or easy uucp access?

You have GOT to be kidding.
Cf. assorted flamewars in comp.mail.misc, comp.mail.uucp, and
news.admin over the last 6 months or so. Lately, subject "BITFTP
grief." Becoming one's worst enemy is in bad taste.
