- Is there a common lisp that runs on 4.2 BSD? Seems to
- me this is a vacuum that many folks must be trying to fill.
-
- I am wondering:
-
- (1) Who's working on one?
-
- <<None of the following answers win brownie points:
- (a) DEC. Their Unix common lisp is only for in-house use.
- (b) CCA. Ain't ready yet.
- (c) David Betz (XLISP 1.4). Currently only a small subset.
- (d) NIL. No Unix implementation planned.>>
-
- (2) Is there a common lisp compatability package for franz?
-
- <<Unlikely, I know. Still, how much of common
- lisp already exists in compatability packages,
- e.g. Lexical scoping :-), Packages, Keyword
- arguments, Pathnames, Bit-arrays?>>
-
- (3) Are folks at UCB thinking of spinning off a common
- lisp from the existing franz implementation?
-
- <<Also unlikely but surely the thought has occurred.>>
-
- All answers and pointers appreciated.
-
- Thanks,
