[gnu.emacs] RCS mode and Online Appointment books

dmjones@athena.mit.edu (David M. Jones) (09/28/89)

Hello.  Does anyone have an RCS interface for GNU emacs?

Also, does anyone know of a package that would be appropriate for
keeping an on-line appointment book?  (For that matter, does anyone
know of a non-GNU emacs package that would be good for this?
calendar(1) isn't sophisticated enough for our purposes.)

Thanks.

Okay, how do I get access to Dave Sill's directory contents?

Anonymous ftp to tut.cis.ohio-state.edu (and likely anonymous UUCP to
osu-cis.  Karl?) and cd to pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive.  There you
will find, among other things, lispdir.el.Z and LCD-datafile.Z.  Set
binary for transfer and bring them on over.

Most of the packages mentioned in the directory are either available
in the Emacs distribution or in the as-is subdirectory of elisp-archive.
Most of the other subdirectories are empty now until Dave can find the
time to sort out the wealth of packages in as-is.

The last I knew, everything related to Dave Sill's archive resided on
tut.cis.ohio-state.edu below the directory pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive, and it
was accessible via anonymous ftp.

Hope this helps... a bit...

Never mind.  Ed Reingold wrote back to say that you can get
pub/calendar.el via anonymous ftp to a.cs.uiuc.edu, and it worked
fine!  (The package looks really great, although I haven't exercised
it yet.)
