[gnu.emacs] question and idea

mitch@hq.af.mil (Mitchell..Wright) (10/07/89)

Greetings Netlanders!

I tried to get this to post once, but it died somewhere ... I'll try again.

Question:
	 Is there a site that I can ftp ".el" files such as calendar for
	 use with GNU Emacs 18.54?

Idea:
	Since I am not a lisp programmer, I thought that I would just throw
	this out to see what kind of responce I would get.

Is there... 
	An emacs program (??.el) that would somehow allow remote news reading
	similar to that of "ftp-find-file".  Of course a news-poster of 
	similar type would be of great use also.

	Just a though...

tut.cis.ohio-state.edu:pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive/as-is/calendar.el
should do the trick.

tut.cis.ohio-state.edu:pub/gnu/gnus/3.12-??of10*, and
...:pub/nntp/nntp.1.5.6.tar.Z are what you're really looking for.
