Up for grabs on cs.uiuc.edu in /pub/epoch-files/epoch is a new file,
add-ons.tar.Z, which contains the most recently released versions of
the following Elisp packages:

  o ange-ftp  - Easy-to-use file/directory-based FTP client.
  o bbdb      - Rolodex-style database; links into rmail et al.
  o bytecomp  - Enhanced optimizing elisp byte compiler.
  o c++-mode  - Major mode for editing C++ source files.
  o calendar  - Calendar and diary system.
  o dired     - Enhanced directory browser; uses Epoch features.
  o edebug    - Elisp debugger.
  o evi       - Enhanced vi emulation.
  o gnus      - Usenet news reader.
  o gnuserv   - Send commands to a running Emacs/Epoch process.
  o rcs       - Support for editing files managed with RCS.
  o supercite - Enhanced message attribution in mail/news.
  o tar-mode  - Major mode for browsing tar files.
  o tek       - Epoch enhancements (e.g. new info browser).

Some of these packages (e.g., bytecomp, c++-mode, calendar, dired,
edebug, the tek info browser) may be added as standard features to
Epoch.  The others may be included as optional packages in the Epoch
distribution.

Feedback on the usefulness, suitability, etc of these packages and on
whether or not they should be added to Epoch (as standard features or
as options) is welcomed.  Suggestions for other packages are also
welcome.  (If you like, you can send feedback to me directly to keep
list traffic down, and I'll summarize any results.)

(For those of you who have been following the GNU Emacs v19 saga, at
least the new dired, byte compiler, and info browser are slated to be
standard in v19.)

Thanks,

Marc
