Where can I get modes for Lex, Yacc/Bison, Bourne shell, csh, C++, Objective-C, Pascal, Java, and Awk?
======================================================================================================

   Most of these modes are now available in standard Emacs distribution.
To get additional modes, look in the Lisp Code Directory (Note: Finding
a package with particular functionality).  For C++, if you use
`lisp-dir-apropos', you must specify the pattern with something like
`M-x lisp-dir-apropos <RET> c\+\+ <RET>'.(1)

   Barry Warsaw's `cc-mode' now works for C, C++, Objective-C, and Java
code.  You can get the latest version from the Emacs Lisp Archive;
Note: Packages that do not come with Emacs for details.  A FAQ for
`cc-mode' is available at `http://www.python.org/emacs/cc-mode/'.

   ---------- Footnotes ----------

   (1) The backslashes in `\+\+' are required because `M-x
lisp-dir-apropos' expects a regular expression as its argument (Note:
Using regular expressions), and `+' has a special meaning in regular
expressions.
