- To differentiate this version from the original David Betz version,
- this one is called XLISP-PLUS 2.1H. The alphabetic character will be
- increased in future versions.
-
- In the separate archive version (distributed via BBSes and Internet
- FTP sites) the following files exist:
- 1
- Archive XL21HSRC:
- Contains all source files. Consult the README.SRC file in that archive
- for additional information.
-
- Archive XL21HDOC:
- Contains ASCII documentation for XLISP-PLUS.
-
- Archive XL21HPSD:
- Contains documentation in Postscript format (using Times Roman font).
-
- Archive XL21HREQ:
- Contains this file, update file (README.UPD), information about the
- Microsoft Windows version (README.WIN), tutorial (LISP-TUT.DOC) and
- all the LISP source files REQuired for operation (see README.LSP).
-
- Archive XL21HEXE:
- Executable program which runs on any generic IBM/PC or Clone.
- Compiled using Borland C++ 4.0 (as a C compiler), Ralf Brown's spawno
- version 3.0 for nice SYSTEM function, and Fabrice Bellard's lzexe to
- compact the executable.
-
- Archive XL21H386:
- Executable program which requires 80386 or 80486, and at least 1
- megabyte of extended memory. Uses DJ Delorie's port of the GNU C
- compiler, and his DOS extender, GO32. Compatible with DPMI, VCPI,
- and XMS. Sources are available from any SimTel mirror site, such
- as oak.oakland.edu.
-
- This archive also contains EMU387, the emulator for above. To use,
- set environment variable "set go32=emu c:/bin/emu387" assuming this
- file is in c:\bin directory. YOU MUST USE THIS EMULATOR FOR XLISP.EXE
- ON SYSTEMS WITHOUT THE FLOATING POINT COPROCESSOR (486SX, 386 without
- 387, and a number of non-Intel 486 variations).
-
- Archive XL21HOS2:
- Executable program for OS/2 V2.x or later. Uses GCC and EMX.
- Available at ftp.cdrom.com. (This file not found on the SimTel msdos
- archive).
-
- Archive XL21HWIN:
- Executable for Microsoft Windows 3.1, using an 80386 or better. Also
- WIN32S 32 bit executable for Windows 3.1, OS/2 WARP, Windows/95, and
- Windows/NT. See file readme.win for details.
-
- **********************
-
- OTHER VERSIONS:
-
- MS DOS: I am no longer building other versions (such as 80286, or
- 80x87 support for real mode).
-
- OS/2 Presentation Manager: Not likely.
-
- AMIGA: Now available (but I can't test it).
-
- IBM Mainframe (370): Now available (but I can't test it).
-
- UNIX: Seems to work on BSD style systems and Suns, at least. Those with
- ancient compilers may require some code/include file touchups.
-
- Macintosh: A Macintosh version has been generated and is being
- supported by Brian Kendig (bskendig@netcom.com). It can be found at
- the archive sites sumex.standford.edu and mac.archive.umich.edu.
-
- Others computers: I've tried to make the code as portable as
- possible. You'll need to write a *STUFF.C file for your system. Also
- read XLISP.H closely. All the 80x86'isms are conditionally included,
- so these won't get in the way.
-
- C++: It won't compile, but you should be able to hack on the code a while
- and get it to go. The ANSI C conversion work I've done should help you,
- although I've only converted function headers as necessary to keep the
- C compilers happy.
