From: Jim moore <MOORE.LOSANGEL%ibm-sj.csnet@csnet-relay.arpa> Has anyone out there any experience with XLISP (by David Betz)? I am particularly interested in hearing from people who have used it on PC/IX. Is D. Bretz reachable? His phone number (in the documentation) seems never to answer. Thanks, Jim Moore (MOORE.LOSANGEL@IBM)

From: David Towson (SECAD) <towson@Amsaa.ARPA> Jim - In regard to your query concerning David Betz and XLISP, I hope the attached message will be helpful. Dave towson@amsaa.arpa Date: 28 Apr 83 10:52:46-PDT (Thu) To: info-micro@brl.arpa From: David Betz <decvax!betz (David Betz)@ucb-vax.arpa> Subject: New distribution policy for XLISP Article-I.D.: decvax.524 Received: from Usenet.uucp by SRI-Unix.uucp with rs232; 29 Apr 83 1:34-PDT I have received a large number of requests from people who have not received parts of the last XLISP distribution. For a while I was honoring requests to send individuals the files that they were missing. Then, when that became unreasonable due to the number of requests, I reposted several of the original files. Even then I got requests from people who hadn't gotten either the original version or the redistributed version. Because of all of this I have decided that net.sources isn't a reliable way of distributing a program as large as XLISP. Rather than replying to each of the people who sent me mail, I am sending this news article to explain my next plan for distributing XLISP. Would anyone who wants a copy of XLISP please send me a stamped, self addressed SSSD floppy at the following address: David Betz Digital Equipment Corporation 110 Spit Brook Rd. Nashua, NH 03062 Please specify whether you want the disk in CP/M format, RT-11 format, VMS format, or UNIX (tar) format. I'm sorry about this being a less than convienient form of distribution, but I don't think that its fair to the rest of the users of the network to continue sending the large XLISP distribution files over and over again just so that the few people who didn't receive them correctly the first time can have another chance.

Would it be possible to put xlisp on Simtel? It seems to me that
there would be many interested hackers.
