title: Perforce and Emacs
body: <p>I'm looking to setup emacs to allow me to use perforce without having to use p4v. </p>
  
  <p>I've had a look at the <a href="http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/PerforceSCM" rel="nofollow noreferrer">emacs wiki</a> and a search on the <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/117394/how-do-i-checkout-files-under-perforce-from-within-emacs">site</a> but there only seems to be two options out there - both of which are pretty old. First option is <a href="http://p4el.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">p4.el</a> which was last updated in 2004. The second option is <a href="http://public.perforce.com:8080/@md=d&amp;cd=//guest/jonathan_kamens/&amp;ra=s&amp;c=uLL@//guest/jonathan_kamens/vc-p4/?ac=83" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the integration</a> with emacs VC component, last updated in August 2007. </p>
  
  <p>The second link above from <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/117394/how-do-i-checkout-files-under-perforce-from-within-emacs">SO</a> seems to suggest using p4.el. Is that still the recommended advice? Does anyone have any tips or tricks they can share? </p>
  
  <p>Any help \ advice much appreciated.</p>
