Greetings:
Does anyone know if there has been and update to xlisp
version 1.4 dated January 1, 1985 which is available at lakesys.
Are there other lisps for the st close to the common lisp standard?

I though David Beckmeyer's flame about Holy-Moses and Dr. Spock was
absolutely hilarious and I nearly died laughing when I read it. More
is the pity, I feel it reflects the sentiment of many in the atari
community. I have been giving the praises of the 1040 to many
of my co-workers but nevertheless one has bought an Amiga 500 and
two others are seriously considering an Amiga 500 or 2000. Wake
up Atari before it is too late! Atari needs to fix the OS now,
give the blitter upgrade now, add a native mulitasking kernel now,
upgrade the graphic standard to 4096 colors, or maybe we should
all sell our machines and buy Amigas.
Isn't this fun?

I guess it's time to post this again. XLISP v2.0 for Atari ST, Macintosh, and IBM PC is available for anonymous FTP on host cs.orst.edu, in the directory pub/xlisp. If the operators of the archives at lakesys.UUCP will contact me, I will be happy to mail the ST stuff to them so those without FTP access can get XLISP v2.0. BTW, the functions that XLISP v2.0 implements are compatible with those in Common LISP (of course, the object stuff is not in Common LISP). But XLISP v2.0 does not include all of Common LISP (in particular, defstruct is missing -- sigh). -- Marion Hakanson Domain: hakanson@cs.orst.edu CSNET : hakanson%cs.orst.edu@relay.cs.net UUCP : {hp-pcd,tektronix}!orstcs!hakanson

Does anyone out there know how to call Gulam using the system function in Xlisp v2.0 on the ST. It works fine on the Amiga Xlisp V1.7. Thanks in advance, Mark Davidson (aimd@ed.castle.ac.uk)

To my AI joy, there is a nice LISP interpretter called XLISP available for the Atari ST. The XLISP 1.6 interpretter does wonders, but it is not fully implemented. The stuff that is implemented is great and has not had any bugs that I could see. The XLISP version 2.0 is fully implemented, but things like trying to print a function. Xlisp 2.0 totally crashes when I use a fration or anything with floating point operations (which work under XLISP 1.6). When the XLISP 2.0 crashses I receive an error indicating that XLISP was not compiled with the flag for floating point. I tried to recompiled it with my Laser C compiler, but I don't have all of the XLISP code for the megamax compiler. I get errors on a command called "overlay" which is not described in the LAser C manual. Also, all of the math functions are just plain missing for the Megamax compiler. It looks like other versions don't need the math functions, onkly the Megamax compiler. Please, would someone re-compile the latest Xlisp and uuencode it and send it to me, or better yet, recompile it and then send it back to the archives in Michigan. Thanks.
