381.0. "XLISP Anyone?" by SQM::JMSYNGE (James M Synge, VMS Performance Anal.) Mon Mar 16 1987 17:18

	Do any of you intrepid Amigoids use Xlisp on your machines?
	I've been using a fairly generic version (1.6) with out any
	support for windows or graphics.  Has anybody added any of
	these features? Or come across such changes?

381.1Looking for a good kit...COOKIE::WECKERDave (Cum Grano Salis) WeckerMon Mar 16 1987 17:206
If anyone has a copy of the most current XLISP kit I would GREATLY appreciate
it if you could upload it for copying (no I DON'T know the current version
number).

yet another LISP hacker...

381.2Newer XLISP is out, but not for amiga?BACH::TENNYDave TennyMon Mar 16 1987 17:228
How about Common Lisp for the Amiga.
Might be fun if you don't have VAX LISP and UIS :^)

RE.0 -- I have XLISP, but I don't use it.  To my knowledge,
  	another version of Amiga XLISP (> version 6) has not come out.
381.3SOFTY::HEFFELFINGERBored on BoardMon Mar 16 1987 20:225
    According to the issue of Amazing that I have handy (not the newest
    one), FF#39 has the executable image for 1.7.
    
    Assuredly *not* a Lisp hacker,

381.41.7 is out nowSQM::JMSYNGEJames M Synge, VMS Performance Anal.Mon Mar 16 1987 22:2311
	Note 50.* in the XLISP conference (type SELECT to add to your
	notebook) discusses version 1.7 of XLISP.

	I've not yet compiled this, nor made an appropriate amigastuff.c
	for it.

	I was thinking it would be nice to have some additions ala Smalltalk
	for handling windows.  Any thoughts?

James.
381.5I like XLISP. What is Cambridge Standard Lisp?WHO::WISNERPaul WisnerMon Mar 23 1987 20:4613
    I have been using XLISP.  I have 1.6 (I think).  It was a generous
    enough subset of Common Lisp to get me through all my course
    assignments.  I'll bet if your favorite common lisp function is
    missing you could write it using the Lisp functions provided.  
    
        Graphics support would be nice.  I would like to see
    a more generic aproach.  A facility to branch to external routines.
    
    I think LISP is a fabulous language and I like my (free) XLisp alot more
    than my $200 Amiga Standard Lisp (yuk!).  Is anyone using Amiga
    Lisp?  Does a Cambridge Standard Lisp book exist?
