Sorry if this is a FAQ which I think it is.

How do we load lisp-code into epoch so that everyone can use it?
Not updating everyone's .emacs or recompiling epoch?

Is this possible at all?

Thank you for reading this.

Put the appropriate load or require statement into default.el in the
emacs/lisp directory.

See the second paragraph in section 28.6 of the GNU Emacs Manual, 6th edition.

This depends on whether you want everyone to always load the code, or
simply have it available. If the format, then you should load it in
the site-init.el file in the ./lisp directory, and then redump Epoch.

If you just want it available to people who wish to load it, create a
directory somewhere, and put the code there. Then, in site-init.el put
a line like

(setq load-path (cons "<full patch of the directory you created>" load-path))

This will add that directory to the list of directories to search when
loading files.

If this isn't clear, send me email.
