I am using Kyoto Common Lisp (KCL) on a SUN3 workstation. KCL compiles Lisp into C, which provides a very easy interface between Lisp and C. Now, it should be easy to write a Lisp package that would give direct access to all graphics, windowing, .. toolbox and system functions, basically all you have to do is to find names for your Lisp functions and to write the standard interface code for every one of them. Well, this should be easy but if anyone has already done it, I would really prefer to use his code rather than writing it myself (and then debugging it). Anybody has ?

This Kyoto Common LISP sounds very interesting! I'll soon be working on a Convex attempting to support C library calls from some LISP. If Kyoto LISP is portable then the job is trivial. Has anyone seen the source to KCL or can speak about its portability?? A. Hudson

Recent versions of Sun Common Lisp (a Lucid derivative) has SunView support built into it, it would probably be wise to use the same routines names, etc for compatibility. Tim Freeman (tsf@theory.cs.cmu.edu) has written graphics packages for various versions of Common Lisp, he may have more details. -- - Ralph W.

Could you please post the KCL info to the net? I'm sure many people are
interested
