- I must be missing something with all of this discussion of Franz
- Lisp on Suns. We have had no trouble at all running the current
- (opus 38.91?) Berkeley release on Suns and have been running Sun
- Franz Lisp for nearly a year now.
-
- The only serious problem that I can recall happened a few sub versions
- ago and was due to a logical error in the C-coded algorithm which
- determined when to garbage collect (as things would have it, it
- never did). The result was that liszt was unable to compile some
- of the lisp coded sources due to the 2 Meg/process limit imposed
- by the Sun operating system (the bug existed in the Vax version as
- well but one would only see it if the lisp image exceeded 6 megs
- which is rare for a compiler run).
-
- Perhaps you could be more explicit in describing what, exactly,
- the problem is. The people at Berkeley most probably have Suns
- and I am sure that they don't release Sun versions without testing
- them.
