This is the README file for ELIB - The Emacs Lisp Library Version 1.0 Inge Wallin Per Cederqvist ================================================================ This is the source directory for the GNU emacs lisp library Elib version 1.0. Elib is designed to be for Elisp programs what libg++ is for C++ programs: a collection of useful routines which don't have to be reinvented each time a new program is written. Elib contains code for: - container data structures (queues, stacks, AVL trees, etc) - string handling functions missing in standard emacs - minibuffer handling functions missing in standard emacs - routines for handling lists of so called cookies in a buffer. Information about how to install the library and the documentation is in the file INSTALL. Licensing terms are in the file COPYING. Further documentation is in the Texinfo file elib.texi. Please send bug reports, suggestions and comments to elib-maintainers@lysator.liu.se. Known bugs: + The documentation could be better. It lacks an index, among other things. + The stack-m and stack-f should probably both (provide 'stack). stack-m.el should maybe be renamed stack.el, and stack-f.el should maybe only be used while debugging. We are still thinking about this. Suggestions are welcome. + The cookie package has a number of inconsistencies regarding handling of (point). Enjoy! Linköping 10-dec-1995 Inge Wallin Per Cederqvist
