- William's Object Oriented Database (Wood) is a simple persistent store
- for MCL 2.0.
-
- Wood version 0.5 is on the anonymous FTP server at cambridge.apple.com
- in the file /pub/mcl2/contrib/wood-0.5.sea.hqx.
- The documentation is contained in that archive and is also
- in the file /pub/mcl2/contrib/wood.doc.
-
- This is alpha software. It is incomplete: though you can save/restore
- all Lisp objects to/from a file, there is no transaction/recovery manager
- and no garbage collector for the persistent heap. I am working on these in
- my copious spare time. I will not be able to provide much support, but
- you get source code.
-
- Please try it and send me feedback.
-
- Send bug reports to bug-wood@cambridge.apple.com.
-
- Send questions and comments for other interested Wood users to
- info-wood@cambridge.apple.com.
-
- To subscribe to info-wood, send a request to
- info-wood-request@cambridge.apple.com
- (info-wood-req@cambridge.apple.com@internet# for AppleLink users).
-
- The BinHex'ed self extracting archive is about 280K bytes long.
- Please don't ask me to mail it unless you really don't have FTP
- access and are serious about testing it. I will be glad to post
- it to AppleLink or mail the documentation file (< 20K) on request.
