Release > 6 is planned for distribution in May. I have just received Release 6 (as others probably have by now). Volume 1, the "User's Guide to Symbolics Computers" is as close as they come. While a fine volume, it is by no means of the style of the "Friendly Dandelion Primer". The closest Symbolics has come has been the class notes of its introductory course, which are a little less serious. Perhaps we should have a humor face-off between the various AI companies. It might make a great annual tradition at AAAI... -- MDG ARPA: trwatf!maverick@SEISMO UUCP: ...!{decvax,ihnp4,allegra}!seismo!trwatf!maverick ...ucbvax!trwrb!trwatf!maverick
