I'd like any references to oaklisp. Ie. what is it? What's special about it? Who wrote it? What papers have been written about it? Is a public domain implementation available? Thanks. -- Peter Ham PO Box 3430 (h)(415) 324-9645 MS Computer Science Student Stanford, CA ham@polya.stanford.edu Stanford University 94309 (o)(415) 723-2067

Oaklisp is a fully object based scheme written by Barak A. Pearlmutter and Kevin J. Lang at CMU. Last I heard oaklisp ran on Suns, and most other Unix boxes with minimal work. I believe Bruce Horn was going to finish the Mac port (but I believe he got too busy to finish it?). Papers descibing the work include: @article( LANG88 , author = "Kevin J. Lang and Barak A. Pearlmutter", title = "Oaklisp: an Object-Oriented Dialect of Scheme", publisher = "Kluwer Academic Publishers", journal = "Lisp and Symbolic Computation", year = "1988", month = may, volume = "1", number = "1", pages = "39-51" ) @inproceedings(OAK-PAP, author = "Kevin J. Lang and Barak A. Pearlmutter", title = "Oaklisp: an Object-Oriented Scheme with First Class Types", booktitle = "ACM Conference on Object-Oriented Systems, Programming, Languages and Applications", pages = "30-37", month = sep, year = "1986" ) Sources and docs can be anonymous ftped from host DOGHEN.BOLTZ.CS.CMU.EDU. Everything (I believe) is in /oaklisp/release.tar.Z -- Mark A. Verber System Programmer, Physics Department, Ohio State University verber@mps.ohio-state.edu (614) 292-8002

The last version I picked up from doghen compiled and ran on my Amiga with little modification--I changed some of the macros because of brain damage in the C preprocessor, but otherwise it was straightforward. Of course, it was pretty slow on a 7 MHz 68000, and there was no nifty graphics interface, but it worked. I would assume from my experience that it would be reasonably easy to port to other 68000 machines with a reasonable amount of memory. -Dan Riley (riley@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu, cornell!batcomputer!riley) -Wilson Lab, Cornell U.

Could someone mail me the numeric internet address of doghen, it doesn't appear in the local /etc/hosts.
