Is anybody out there, Hello: We are working on a project which main goal is to developa intelligent front endto a diagnosis system for industriel machinery. In order to make a powerfuyl graphic interface we are using a mac as a front end n machine. We are also using both experlisp and experops5,and have some problems with that. We therefore hope that someone are able to help us. The first question is ops5. In the original cmu ops5 it is possible to call program written in other languages, for instance C, by using the function (external) and (call) . Do exper ops5 provide the same facilliti, es, and if not are there any other possibilities. In the work of designig screen pictures, we want to call files created from other applications, for insrtance 'dialog creator'. Is there any way of calling such resourcefiles from experlisp? We hope that the answers are given somewhere? See you around. rolf

ExperLisp allows interface to the Mac's memory manager, and to machie language. If you use something, like LightSpeed C, to create a pure macihine code segment, you can read it into ExperLisp and dispatch to it. passing it reasonable arguments may be something of a problem though. (You can always creat a handle to a chunk of memory, pass that, then examoine it afterward.) --- David Phillip Oster -- "We live in a Global Village."

There is a good review of experops5 by William Jacobs in the latest
issue of Byte. You should read it carefully before using experops5.
