[net.lang.lisp] What is xlisp?

john@ektools.UUCP (John H. Hall) (06/27/86)

Please excuse me if this question has been asked before, I am not
a regular subscriber of this news group.  I'm asking this on behalf
of my boss.

I am looking for information about a dialect of LISP called XLISP.
I believe it originated at Carnegie-Mellon, and will run on IBM
PC-class machines.

First, is this a commercial product, a public-domain package, or
something in between?

Second, what is the most appropriate way for my company to acquire
a copy of it?

Thank you for your forbearance.  Please reply by mail.

XLISP is a Public Domain program written by David Betz.  It can be
found on almost any Bulletin Board.  It is a small lisp interpreter,
very solid.  It runs on PC/MS-DOS, MAC, Amiga and Atari.  Current
version is 1.6 with 1.7 about to be released.

It can be found on the Byte Interchange Network (BIX), where David works.
Or you can write David directly a 114 Davenport Ave., Manchester NH, 03103.
Send him a diskette and a stamped mailer.
