I recently sent a message saying amongst other things that Xerox's Common Lisp was not Missing In Action as jjacobs alleged. In that message I mentioned the error handling system. Someone has asked me to say more about it. All I know about the error handling system is in "Xerox Common Lisp Implementation Notes, Lyric Release" JUNE 1987 (Part number 3102464 from Xerox AIS). Chapter 24 "Error System". The introductory matter of that chapter says The Xerox Common Lisp error system is based on proposal number 8 for the Common Lisp error system. I have no idea what any of these proposals is, what other things have proposals, or how to find out. Anyone know what information is available?
