[net.micro.atari] xlisp for the ST

ditzel@ssc-bee.UUCP (Charles L Ditzel) (12/01/85)

 Question :
      Has anyone managed to get a version of xlisp to work for the ST?

 Notes:
      Optimized Systems Software in San Jose is working on a Prolog
      for the ST, due out sometime in January.
      (got this from their phone people)

      Metamaco (sp?) was/is (?) working on a Lisp for the ST. 
      Don't know if this is still in progress or what.

 Another Question :
      (I asked this earlier...but the answers were too confused..
      yes/no?)

      Does anyone know if anyone working on Unix for Atari 520ST?  
     (Not the next machine, Atari TT, but the ST).

*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***

the latest word i heard from inside Atari is that they have dropped
plans to do unix for the ST because it does not provided sufficient
memory protection for unix to work properly.

According to the January 1986 issue of ANTIC (TOC coming soon), they 
are going to carry all the METACOMCO software for the ST.  The
MACRO ASSEMBLER and META PASCAL should be available pretty soon.  The
LATTICE C is still in alpha test and will follow later.  The CAMBRIDGE
LISP and the IBM PC CROSS DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM have been announced but
are not finished yet if I understand the article correctly.

The MACRO ASSEMBLER and the META PASCAL will cost $79.95 and $99.95
respectfully.  All METACOMCO languages for the ST include the
METACOMCO Screen Editor and detailed manuals.

If you have technical questions and want to talk to a System Software
Engineer, call toll free 1-800-GET-META.

Hope this helps...
