- For some time I have been using and maintaining enhanced versions of the
- several Franz lisplib modules which implement various Lisp Machine
- compatibilities, most notably, the FLAVOR system and FORMAT output.
- jkf@berkeley has authorized me to announce public availability of these
- files via anonymous ftp from UCBKIM. These seven files are compatible
- with Opus 38.91, but supersede the versions in the 39.91 distribution.
- There are a number of bugfixes and new features.
-
- UCBKIM supports FTP with login "anonymous" and any password. The
- files are:
- ~anonymous/pub/flavors/Makefile
- flavors.l
- flavorm.l
- vanilla.l
- hash.l
- describe.l
- format.l
-
- The changes are too many to describe in detail. Many of the FLAVOR
- system changes are for compatibility with changes to Franz, although a
- few non-working or missing features (but not all) have been bludgeoned
- into functionality. In particular, wrappers work. The FORMAT module
- fixes a number of format directives which apparently never worked.
- However, some of the hairier ones are known still to be defective.
-
- This "completely unsupported" software is graciously being made
- available to all takers without any promises whatever: there is no
- promise of correctness, and no promise of support. Also, the sources
- total 160K and unsuitable for uucp distribution, and I don't have time
- to deal with tape requests [sorry].
-
- The above notwithstanding, I am as eager as anyone for additional
- improvements to the code. Anyone with additional bugfixes is encouraged
- to communicate to me, and I will try to integrate the code. I will try
- to respond to bug reports, but it may be a rather low priority business.
