[comp.lang.lisp] HP Common Lisp II

rkf@firehole.inel.gov (Raymond Fink) (09/11/89)

We are using HP Common Lisp II (the version that Lucid is the OEM) on
a HP 9000/350, and are having trouble trying to use the built-in
editor when logging in from a remote vt100 terminal (or an xterm
under X11R3).

Basically it doesn't insert characters properly, it gets stuck at the
end of the line when updating the display.  (the file is correctly
updated though.)  It looks like some sort of terminfo/termcap problem
with padding characters, maybe.

The manual is no help whatsoever on this.  The computer and software are
owned by a customer who did not buy software support, so I can't fall
back on the normal HP support approach.

Has anybody else seen this problem? Anybody know how to fix it? Suggestions
for how to fix it? (Email replies are best, I will summarize).

Thanks

We are using HP Common Lisp II (the version that Lucid is the OEM) on
a HP 9000/350, and are having problems trying to use a non-HP X display
server for a Lisp display window.
 
When trying to open up the Lisp display window using a Sun-3 (X11R3) as
a display server, Lisp breaks on not being able to find the font "roman".
The font (part of the Lisp distribution) was copied to the Sun-3, and works
ok with normal X server protocols (xterm, etc.).  I can get things to work
fine using other HP machines as display servers, so I am big time confused.
 
I followed the meager instructions in the manual to the letter (honest!).
The computer and software are owned by a customer who did not buy 
software support, so I can't fall back on the normal HP support approach.
 
Has anybody else seen this problem? Anybody know how to fix it? Suggestions
for how to fix it? Any clues would be appreciated. (Email replies are best,
I will summarize).
