2. Distribution

Patcher is available either as a stand-alone package, or as part of the standard `xemacs-devel' XEmacs package.

You can get `xemacs-devel' it in three different ways:

• You can install `xemacs-devel' from within XEmacs via the package user interface (accessible from the `Tools' menu or via M-x list-packages).

• You can also download the `xemacs-devel-<version>-pkg.tar.gz' tarball from ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/, and unpack it where you put the other packages.

• `xemacs-devel' sources are available from XEmacs's CVS repository. The module name is `xemacs-devel'. See http://www.xemacs.org/Develop/cvsaccess.html for more information about XEmacs's CVS repository.

I also provide Patcher as a stand-alone package. This is mainly for my personal usage (when developing and debugging new versions) but you might want to use it if you're not interested in the rest of `xemacs-devel'. The stand-alone version of Patcher can be found at http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~didier/comp/development/software.php. You will also find different inlined versions of this documentation at that place.
