Subject: Function to simplify additions to hook lists
Organization: EDS-Scicon, Milton Keynes, UK
Distribution: gnu
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 1992 10:29:29 GMT

As I got into customising more and more packages, my .emacs file was
getting more and more cluttered with code to safely set up all the hook
lists I needed.

The big problem with adding functions to hooks is that if a hook is
already defined, the new function must be added differently depending on
whether the current value is a symbol, a LAMBDA expression, or a list
containing instances of either.

Things came to a head this morning when I realised I'd missed one of
these cases in several places, causing calls to `run-hooks' to fail.

Below is my solution to the problem.  It ought to be all-singing,
all-dancing, with bells and whistles, flashing lights and a marching
band  :-)

If you find this useful please mail me so I can feel all warm inside.
Also, please mail bugs, fixes, comments etc.

I suspect the original poster meant threaded as in "multi-threaded", so
that one could start retriving a newsgroup, and still do a C-x b to
switch to another buffer to do other work. I would love to see that
ability added, as it would permit me to use one less emacs (when I read
news, I give gnus its own emacs and read rmail and edit files and do all
my other work in one other emacs).

Two weeks ago I posted a new pascal mode. There was of course a bug in it.
The '? M-p' command that was supposed to print a list of available templates
did not work. Thank you Corny De Souza for pointing it out to me.
The following patch fixes that bug and it also defines the character '$' to
function similar to #, i.e. lines started by '$' are not indented.

Use the following patch file to change pasc-mod.el and LCD-Archive-Entry to
pascal mode version 1.01.

Reply-To: southern@ncar.ucar.edu

Date: Tue, 1 Sep 1992 14:40:09 GMT

Chris Moore (moore@src.bae.co.uk) sent me some mods to safe-load.el
which allows safe-load to accept the same arguments as load, and
pass them on to load.  This makes safe-load much more general.

In addition, his mods make safe-load wait for a key press before
continuing on after it detects an error.  This addresses a common
problem of having the safe-load error message flash by in the
mini-buffer too quickly to read.

I also use a shell call out to an audible to signal trouble, but
I've commented it out here.

Thanks to everyone who made suggestions on how to improve this.

Hello all.

About 2 months ago I posted about an emacs based talk program that I
put on the net.  Since that time there have been more than a few
modifications.  The reason that I am reposting to gnu.emacs.sources is
due to a major addition that may be of interest to more people where
the old simple talk-only version wasn't.

Basically, it's standard BSD talk compatible, and once the connection
is made, you can initiate games between the callee's via a special
minor-mode I wrote called "tyrant-mode".  Tyrant-mode makes writting
the game simple.  I'm sure it can be used for more than games, but
that is up to the programmer.  If this is of interest please download
it and give it a shot.  There are instructions on building such games
with it and I would love for any donations of games for future releases.

It can be found on:
nic.umass.edu       	A	128.119.166.14
/pub/contrib/etalk0.4B.tar.Z

Hope you all like it!

Brief listing of compatibilities and features:
---------------------------------------------
Compilation issues:
 o Compiles under gcc, cc, and non-ansi cc (sun)
Compatability issues:
 o Completely BSD ntalk compatible.
Connection requirments:
 o udp ntalk service on both local and remote or email service
Kool additions to connecting:
 o completion on usernames in minibuffer. 
   - compatible with BSD and GNU finger formats
   - doesn't like VMS for completion, but will connect to it.
 o completion on hostname in same minibuffer (uses /etc/hosts)
 o neat ring-waiting message.
 o connect via email-message if no ntalk service
Kool additions which work against standard talk:
 o autowrap
 o copy/yank into buffer
 o infinite scrollback
 o multiple talk-sessions (1 per window) which supports:
   -messages to one or all
Kool emacs->emacs additions:
 o send message to minibuffer of remote.
 o play games
Kool games:
 o tyrant-mode: minor mode to make writing games easy.
 o talk-tac-toe.  Simple but fun.  Also plays w/out talk.
 o hangman. Even more fun than tic-tac-toe.
Kool bonus mode:
 o finger-mode.  Looks like dired.  Pretty simple.
In the works:
 o battleship.

	  (call-interactively 'rmail)
	  (rmail-summary))

How can one kill all articles that have been cross-posted to another

(gnus-kill "Newsgroups" ...) complains about unknown header line,
apparently gnus doesn't consider "Newsgroups:" to be part of
the header.

Is there an easy way to do it or do I have to start studying

  A hopefully easy question -- currently when I reply to an article or

I'd like

 Or whatever.  I looked through the man, but didn't find anything; I

   I'm using gnus 3.13.  It seems to thread articles based on the References

     891: [  7:diecph@ucunix] Re: changing indentation thingees

   which should be a part of just one thread, based on the Subject:
