The big AutoCAD tools sites with LISPs are:
"AutoCAD Plugin Store" by beyond.com
http://www.cadplugins.com/
This is the by AutoDESK "officially recommended" tools site.
"CADalog" - The AutoCAD Shareware Clearinghouse (Mike Clark)
http://www.cadalog.com/
"The CAD Depot", formerly known as "cadsyst" or "Rolling Stock Software",
(David Whynot) recently bought by TenLinks.com
http://www.caddepot.com/
They are specialized in AutoCAD related software and have a very
good AutoLISP collection. Other professional AutoLISP shareware
sites post their URL's to the newsgroup too.
Other relevant sites are:
TenLinks (www.tenlinks.com) and the UpFront (www.upfrontezine.com) ezine
are the best CAD news services. Autodesk also started their portal site
"Point A" at http://www.autodesk.com/pointa
Some more sites with AutoLISP collections are:

[1.1] Are the comp.cad.autocad articles stored somewhere?
There is no comp.cad.autocad archive or such a thing, but there
are some search machines which store news articles. In
particular:
| * http://groups.google.com/ - The biggest news archive
| formerly known as http://deja.com/usenet
* http://www.altavista.com/
http://www.altavista.com/cgi-bin/query?pg=aq&what=news
* http://www.excite.com/
http://www.excite.com/search.gw?collection=news
* Phoaks - People Helping One Another Know Stuff - Automatic Links Extractor
http://www.phoaks.com/phoaks2/newsgroups/comp/cad/autocad/index.html
The Autodesk discussion forums have also a search feature at

Some specific older news postings are also stored at
http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/autocad/news/contents.html
[1.2] Autodesk's SDK
Up to Release 12 a Software Development Kit was available directly
at Autodesk. The SDK1-2 was shipped with the international R12 for
free. It included a lot of ADS and AutoLISP source code and libraries.
From R13 on Autodesk provides a special developers network, comparable
to Microsoft's, the ADN. The CD's are comparable to the old SDK but
are more targeted to ObjectARX developers.
Contact your nearest Autodesk headquarter for becoming a member.
Some LISPs are at http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/autocad/code/adesk/SDK2
In the US, ADN membership costs $600.00 per year. The CDs don't include
any SDK per se, but most of the stuff in the original SDKs is included
in one form or another. (Owen)
