1308.0. "Amiga Xlisp V2.0" by Z::TENNY (Dave Tenny - VAX LISP Development) Wed Apr 06 1988 22:31

    "Common Lisp compatability"
    New Improved Object Oriented Programming

	Got you.  Bet you thought I was going to tell you where you
	can get it.  Sorry, I'd like the Amiga Xlisp 2.0 as well.
	Apparently it is becoming available on the nets, according
	to a copied usenet note in the XLISP conference.

	When any Amiga-devos get ahold of it, please post!
	Meanwhile, my hardware laden, ready to go Amiga gathers
	dust and use as a television while I lisp on a vax,
	waiting for a good lisp for my Amiga.  

	Of course, I don't expect wonders from Xlisp, I really
	want real Common Lisp and a good graphics interface to my
	amiga.

Dave

1308.1On its way (maybe!)...SHALE::DAVISThat's not a BUG, it's a FEATURE!Fri Apr 08 1988 23:055
Well I have a directory listing from a local BBS that shows XLISP2.ARC as
being uploaded last September.  I'll download it, take a look, and upload
it to DUA2:[DAVIS.AMIGA] sometime soon.

1308.5Z::TENNYDave Tenny - VAX LISP DevelopmentThu Apr 14 1988 22:558
I downloaded the xlisp2.arc file specified in one of the previous
replies; but ARC choked on each member. ARC L listem them all
with bad entries; and ARC X guru'd.

Was it my download or has anyone else had the same problem?

	The same thing happened to me when I tried to deARC the little
	sucker.
1308.8The Saga ContinuesTEACH::ARTArt Baker, DC Training Center (EKO)Mon Apr 18 1988 17:117
	I also tried to pull a copy of the ARC'ed 2.0 sources from an
	E-net node (somebody in the XLISP notesfile has them online),
	but alas niether VMS-WEEP nor ARC could make anything of their
	contents.  

	Is there like a curse or something on XLISP 2.0 ?
1308.10XMODEM for STREAM_LFLOWLIF::DAVISThat's not a BUG, it's a FEATURE!Wed Apr 20 1988 03:465
Guys, guys, guys...  ARC files in STREAM_LF format are meant to be downloaded
using XMODEM.  Alternatively, you can CVTARC as mentioned in .-1.  Sorry that
it created so much confusion, but XMODEM is faster so I never bother with
Kermit.

1308.11must be recompiledYIPPEE::GOULNIKOogaboogaBox typeTue Jul 19 1988 13:2410

	I just received ManX-C and recompiled XLISP v2.0 sources that
	I copied from RAINBO::WRK::[LORD.XLISP]. So I finally got all
	the new features described in the v2.0 documentation, such as
	FORMAT, SORT, MACRO-EXPAND, etc. which didnt work in the Amiga
	version referred to in RE:.1.   The only thing is AmigaStuff.C
	must be edited to change NODE *s_unbound,*true,*xgetkey,*xsytem
	to LVAL s_unbound,true,xgetkey,xsytem.
