Has anyone ported Franz lisp for the IBM RT/PC. I know there is a common lisp available for $$$ but I was hoping someone took the time to make a public domain port of Franz lisp. Thanks in advance, JonnyG. (jonnyg@rover.umd.edu) (jonnyg@umd5.umd.edu)

Well I found the closest thing which is Kyoto Common Lisp (KCL) and is available via ftp from gatekeeper.doc.com. KCL is public domain but you need to fill out a form and mail it in when copying it. What I realy wanted was not a Common lisp however. I am actualy looking for an object oriented lisp other than Xlisp that will run on the RT. Once I was turned on to OOPS for aplication programming, I assumed every thing else did, including common lisp. I am doing development under Xlisp and use messages extensively, as a mater of fact I use object methods to completely replace lisp function declarations. Although my main environment will be Xlisp I would like to find an alternative and faster public domain UNIX based lisp that supports OOPS to do cross developement. I have made significant speed ups to xlisp and can make them available to interested parties. I am still unable to give out the windows code for those of you who are following my progress on that. I would like to create a cross environment between xlisp and another faster UNIX based lisp so I will be able to produce code for the PC under xlisp and have it run significantly faster on my IBM RT UNIX machine. In summary I am looking for a public domain Object Oriented Lisp to run on my IBM RT. I am also interested in public domain OOPS-LISP environments that may be easily ported to the IBM RT if they have not been already. JonnyG. (jonnyg@rover.umd.edu) (jonnyg@umd5.umd.edu)
