Here's the README file from tut.cis.ohio-state.edu:
/pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive. 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.
