I am interested in finding out what it takes to get foreign functions into Franz Lisp and what restrictions might apply. In particular, I would like to be able to bring in C functions. The Franz manual is pretty much useless in this area. I am running Franz Opus 38.92 on a Sun under Sun Unix version 3.2. I understand that someone has taken the time to actually work through this and has published a paper outlining the steps. Either a summary or pointer to the paper would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You are probably looking for: "Parlez-Vous Franz ? An Informal Introduction to Interfacing Foreign Functions to Franz Lisp," by James R. Larus, PAM-124, Computer Science Division, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, UC Berkeley, 1983. Since the paper has a "PAM" id, I believe it was published by the Pure and Applied Mathematics Dept, even though it says "Computer Science Division" on the cover. . . . - jeffr
