- Related Systems
-
- CLUE relies upon two other systems --- CLX and CLOS.
-
- CLX, the Common Lisp X Interface, may be found in the X11 distribution from
- MIT (see lib/CLX/*). CLUE requires R3 CLX or later.
-
- CLOS, the Common Lisp Object System, is a draft standard extension to ANSI
- Common Lisp for object-oriented programming. Xerox PCL (Portable Common
- Loops) is an implementation of CLOS which is available publicly at no cost
- by sending a request to CommonLoops.pa@xerox.com. Sources for a simple
- implementation of a CLOS subset called Clos-Kludge are included in the CLUE
- directory (see clue/clos-kludge/*). Clos-Kludge is sufficient for simple
- CLUE programming, but it is neither supported nor recommended.
-
-
- Installation
-
- Use the functions compile-clue and load-clue in the file clue/defsystem.l.
-
- Note: Because Clos-Kludge uses DEFSTRUCT and CLX windows are built using
- DEFSTRUCT, no CLX changes are required when using Clos-Kludge. When using
- other (better) CLOS implementations, CLX must be modified to use DEFCLASS
- instead of DEFSTRUCT. To do this, compile and load clue/clos-patch.l
- immediately after the CLX/depdefs.l file. See the functions
- compile-clos-clx and load-clos-clx functions in clue/defsystem.l.
-
-
- Examples
-
- Two sets of examples are provided to demonstrate the use of CLUE. See the
- directory clue/examples/*.
-
- clue/examples/menu.l implements a simple pop-up menu and several related
- functions. See clue/doc/examples.text for a detailed description of these
- examples.
-
- The directory clue/examples/old/* contains examples from a previous CLUE
- release. These examples are somewhat obsolete and are not supported. They
- do not use recent CLUE features and are poorly documented, and not all of
- them are carefully designed and tested. Sources in clue/examples/old/*
- implement a set of contact classes. See the functions compile-clue-examples
- and load-clue-examples in clue/examples/old/defsystem.l. Sources in
- clue/examples/old/demo/* implement a set of demo functions, using the
- example contact classes. See the functions compile-clue-demo and
- load-clue-demo in clue/examples/old/demo/defsystem.l.
-
-
- Documentation
-
- The directory clue/doc/* contains several documents describing CLUE.
-
- CLUE.PS, CLUE.TEX
-
- The CLUE specification which defines all CLUE features. LaTeX and
- PostScript versions are included.
-
- EXAMPLES.TEXT
-
- Describes the example in clue/examples/menu.l. First-time readers
- should have first read The Quick and Dirty Guide To CLUE and should have
- some familiarity with the CLUE specification.
-
- RELEASE.TEXT
-
- Release notes for the current version of CLUE. This contains important
- information which must be read before using CLUE.
-
- TURBO-CLUE.PS, TURBO-CLUE.TEX
-
- The Quick and Dirty Guide To CLUE. This tutorial introduces the novice
- CLUE programmer to the CLUE way of life with examples, advice,
- installation notes, and exercises. LaTeX and PostScript versions are
- included.
