While perusing various archive sites, I ran across (several times) a file called oaklisp.tar.Z. Having never heard of an oaklisp package, I'm curious, but I don't want to ftp a 1.8Mb tar file to find out. Could someone enlighten me as to what this package is? -- :alex Alex Crain Systems Programmer alex@umbc3.umbc.edu Univ Md Baltimore County nerwin!alex@umbc3.umbc.edu (NEW DOMAIN)

Oaklisp is an object-oriented, extended Scheme written by Kevin Lang and Barak Pearlmutter (or vice versa) at CMU. It's written in C, using a bytecoded virtual machine architecture. -- Paul

Oaklisp is an object oriented scheme w/ first class types. Everything is an object! Nicely done. I seem to recall that it is faster than CScheme but slower than T. It was written by Barak Pearlmutter and Kevin Lang? who are grad students at CMU. There was a paper about Oaklisp in the OOPSLA 86 conference proceedings. Everything needed to get it running is in the tar file. If you want to biuld a new world file you will have to get T running. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark A.
