- This the Macintosh distribution of XLISP-STAT Release 3. This
- distribution is available for anonymous ftp from umnstat.stat.umn.edu
- (128.101.51.1) in directory pub/xlispstat/macintosh. This release is
- experimental. A possibly more stable release, but one that does not
- support the new features of Release 3, is available in
- pub/xlispstat/macintosh/old.
-
- You need to obtain two self extracting archive files: the appropriate
- application for your system and the support files. The support files
- are in xlispstat-3-??-files.sea.hqx, where ?? corresponds to the
- current minor release number, and the applications are
-
- 'XLISP-STAT 3.?? PPC' in xlispstat-3-??-ppcapp.sea.hqx
- 'XLISP-STAT 3.?? 881' in xlispstat-3-??-881app.sea.hqx
- 'XLISP-STAT 3.?? 020' in xlispstat-3-??-020app.sea.hqx
- 'XLISP-STAT 3.?? GEN' in xlispstat-3-??-genapp.sea.hqx
-
- The GEN application should run on any 68K mac. The 020 application
- requires at least a 68020 processor but no coprocessor. The 881
- application requires both a 68020 or higher processor and a
- coprocessor. the PPC application is a PowerPC native code
- implementation. All versions have been compiled with MetroWerks
- CodeWarrior C 1.1.1.2. Extracting the support files creates a folder.
- After extracting your executable, place it in this folder.
-
- Some information on the changes since Release 2 is given in the file
- pub/xlispstat/doc/changes.ps.
-
- Default partition sizes for the applications are set to 3M. You may
- need more if you have a large color screen or are using more than 256
- colors.
-
- A minimal runtime system needs the application and the initial
- workspace, 'xlisp.wks', and any of the files in the Autoload folder
- you want to use. The application, initial workspace, and Autoload
- folder must be placed in the same folder. You can add the 'xlisp.hlp'
- file if you want documentation to be available.
-
- If you want to include any of the 'Autoload' files in the startup
- workspace, load them into a running application and do
-
- (save-workspace "newxlisp.wks")
-
- This creates a new workspace file and exits. You can then double click
- on this workspace, or you can rename it 'xlisp.wks' to make it the
- default startup workspace (keep a copy of the original one). To load
- the compiler, load the file 'cmpload.fsl' in the 'Autoload' folder.
-
- The lisp sources can be compiled by loading the 'cmpsys.lsp' file in
- the 'Lisp Sources' folder. This will recompile any .lsp file whose
- corresponding .fsl file does not esist or has an earlier modification
- date.
-
- The file xlsx.h is a header file for use with external functions.
