XLISP is an object oriented programming language that runs on
Unix systems. I don't know where to get a Unix version. The
CP/M version is available on disk SIG/M 118 from CP/M user groups
and by phone from many RCP/M systems. The distribution disk
includes the C source code, a Z80 object file, some examples,
and a 19 page manual. The following abstract is taken from
the manual.
XLISP: An Experimental Object Oriented Language

XLISP is an experimental programming language combining some
of the features of LISP with an object oriented extension
capability. It was implemented to allow experimentation
with object oriented programming on small computers. There
are currently implementations running on the PDP-11 under
RSX-11, RT-11, and UNIX V7, on the VAX-11 under VAX/VMS and
Berkeley VAX/UNIX and on the Z-80 running CP/M-80. It is
completely written in the programming language 'C' and is
believed to be easily extended with user written builtin
functions and classes. It is available free of charge and
is in the public domain.
Many traditional LISP functions are built into XLISP. In
addition, XLISP defines the object classes 'Object',
'Class', and 'Keymap' as primitives. 'Object' is the only
class that has no superclass and hence is the root of the
class heirarchy tree. 'Class' is the class of which all
classes are instances (it is the only object that is an
instance of itself). 'Keymap' is a class whose instances
are mappings from input key sequences to messages.rpw3@fortune.UUCP (01/19/84)

There was a version of XLISP posted to net.sources a long time back,
I don't remember when, but I think March or April 1983.
We popped it up on a Fortune 32:16 and it seemed to play o.k. (with
the fixes that came a little later).

I am planning to start an INFO-XLISP mailing list. The reasons for this are:
* To exchange XLISP code and ideas
* To provide an easy method of reporting bugs
* To facilitate the distribution of XLISP revisions (few people
are aware that there is an XLISP 1.6 already and 1.7 is near
completion)
* To collect enhancements to XLISP and collect the changes
necessary to port XLISP to new machines
If you are interested in joining the list, please send mail to me at
one of the addresses below. I will need your name and net address. I would
also appreciate knowing what machine you use to run XLISP. I will then keep
you informed about the INFO-XLISP details (such as the address) as they become
final.

I'm about to start a moderate project in a yet to be chosen LISP dialect. I am only familiar with Franzlisp. Are there any features of XLISP that would make it preferable to Franzlisp or Interlisp for just general applications?

Hi,
Tried to mail a request to pt.cs.cmu.edu!spice.cs.cmu.edu!djz to be put on
the XLISP mailing list and got a "user unknown" response from the mail daemon.
Please add me to the list. I'm interested in getting XLISP 1.6 (have 1.4),
and run on a Morrow Pivot 1 (MSDOS environment).

I've gotten a tremendous response from my posting about INFO-XLISP that I think a net.lang.xlisp is in oredr too. This would simply be a USENET version of my INFO-XLISP list with a two-way gateway (postings to INFO-XLISP show up on net.lang.xlisp and postings to net.lang.xlisp get sent to those on INFO-XLISP). Please send a note to me if you are interested in this so I can try to have it established. Dan

Please send me a copy If someone on the net actually has XLISP 1.6 then why don't they post it to mod.sources, or, at the very least, net.sources? It seems that there is a great deal of interest.

Hello out there. I'm sorry to bother you with this but I'm not able
to mail Dan directly.
I'm in for newsgroup on XLISP.
Is the source for XLISP 1.6 available ??
Thanks in advance

I have a copy of 1.6, except that one of the files seems to be missing and it will not compile for that reason (well, not link anyway).

It would be much better to post it via mod.sources, where the moderator makes sure it gets out successfully, in pieces that won't be trashed by various mailers. A lot of previous postings (tvx, microemacs, etc.) get into the syndrome of "We got pieces 1,3,5,7; please repost 2,4,6,99", and XLISP (even the 1.4 version) is large enough to get hit with the same thing. I haven't used it yet, but the volume of requests for it seem to be about the size of the package, so it's probably time to post. John Nelson has provided a good service to the net; let's use it.
