We have recently received UNIX 4.2 with franz lisp. After going through the readme and makefiles for lisp, we found that in theory we should be able to run on the sun. When we tried, we found two undefined quantities: CGXbuf and sobuf. The first quantitie is also referenced by the sun windowing package but is not defined anywhere. Needles to say we could not get lisp up. If anyone knows what is going on please let me know. Thanks in advance. email: philabs!micomvax!peters

Opus 38.89 of Franz Lisp runs just fine on the SUNs. But the older version distributed with 4.2BSD will not build for 4.2BSD. Franz 38.89 used to be available via anonynmous login on the ARPANET from UCBVAX, but I haven't checked recently. There's always Franz, Inc's version, which is much bigger and has many more features, but also, being bigger, tends to garbage collect much more frequently. John Nagle
