Do any of you have a spiffy gnu emacs environment for running lucid common lisp? Specifically, I'm looking for one which will support the edit-definition feature. Lucid comes with an emacs within it's lisp, but it's a particularly brain-dead emacs... Thanks, Robert

There are a whole bunch of public domain lisp interface packages for Common Lisp. Some of them provide specific support for Lucid. Here are two that I know about, both of which provide support for editing definitions: One package is "cl-shell" from Eero Simoncelli at the MIT Media Lab. You can get this by anonymous FTP to whitechapel.media.mit.edu (18.85.0.125). It's in ~/pub/Emacs-cl-shell.tar.Z. The edit-definition command here is "cl-edit-definition". Another is "ilisp2" written by Chris McConnell of ADS. It's based on Olin Shiver's "comint" Emacs shell command interpreter. You can get it by anonymous FTP to ads.com (128.229.30.16). This exists as ~/pub/cmu-comint-ilisp2.tar.Z. The name of the edit-definition command here is "lisp-find-source". Lucid will be distributing copies of these two with upcoming releases of 4.0. Please be aware that these are public domain packages, so Lucid can't provide any official support for them.
