In a previous AIList (Vol. 4, Issue 127), I posted a message concerning the availability of a set of tools and utilities for VAX LISP. At that time, only the object code was in the public domain. However, by popular request, we have arranged to make the source code for these facilities available. Anyone who requested a tape of the object code will be sent the source. The description of the facilities is repeated below. Here at the Center for Automation and Intelligent Systems Research at Case Western Reserve University, we have developed a number of tools and utilities for VAX LISP. They include extensions to the control and string manipulation primitives, a simple pattern matcher, a pattern-based APROPOS facility, a pattern-based top-level history mechanism, an extensible top-level command facility, an extensible DESCRIBE facility, and an implementation of Flavors. These facilities are described in detail in a technical report, "CAISR VAX LISP Tools and Utilities" (TR-106-86). A tape containing the VAX LISP source for these facilities is available for a $35 shipping and handling fee. Randall D.
