Drew Adams's Emacs Customizations

1. My customizations currently work with GNU Emacs 20.7.  Many of them
   have worked with earlier versions, as well. I have not tried any of
   them with version 21. I use them on both Windows 9x/NT and Unix.

2. I post my customizations to newsgroup gnu.emacs.sources indirectly,
   via mailing list gnu-emacs-sources. I generally post individual
   libraries (emacs lisp files), separately, so you will need to look
   in gnu.emacs.sources for other libraries on which a given library
   depends.

   Most libraries require others to function. Look for `(require...)'
   and `(load...)'  calls in the source code to see which other
   libraries are needed. Alternatively, you can use the file
   DEPENDENCIES* (also posted to gnu.emacs.sources) to find out which
   libraries any given library depends on.

3. The names of my Elisp files use the following convention.  

   Files that replace standard GNU Emacs Lisp files keep their
   original names, naturally (examples: `appt.el', `delsel.el').

   Names of files that are extensions of standard files are suffixed
   by `-' or `+', depending on whether they are to be loaded just
   before or just after the corresponding standard files.  For
   example, my file `compile-.el' is to be loaded before the standard
   GNU file `compile.el'; my file `compile+.el' is to be loaded after
   `compile.el'.  The `+' case is more common than the `-' case.

4. I post these files that serve as documentation of my libraries:

  DEPENDENCIES - list of dependencies for each of my Elisp libraries
  DEPENDENCIES-EXPANDED - recursive DEPENDENCIES
  EMACS-TO-COPY - A model ~/.emacs file that works with my libraries.
                  You can use it as a guide. It also contains info on
                  customization options and overriding settings made
                  by my Elisp libraries.

  See DEPENDENCIES* for a list of my currently available Elisp files.
