1 More Neat Stuff for your Emacs
3 This file describes GNU Emacs programs and resources that are

44 of Internet services for the purpose of supporting GNU Emacs,
45 research and examine in depth "What is Emacs?", and a project that
46 assists the contributed Emacs Lisp distribution with widely
47 re-useable metadata that is backward compatible with the LCD.
