It's been pointed out to me that we are really not able to handle large numbers of requests for the Spice Lisp sources. Porting Spice Lisp is not something that hobbyists or small companies are likely to be able to do. Therefore, please don't bother Dr. Fahlman with a request for the sources unless you are very serious about doing a port and believe you have the required resources. Send me netmail to me if you have any questions. --Skef -- uucp: ...!seismo!cmu-cs-spice!skef arpa: skef@CMU-CS-Spice

More as a general inquiry in relation to your problem with supplying people with this Common Lisp: 1. I notice that SUMACC tells you to send $65 to some independant tape copying company. Has anyone any experience with such services? I assume either you get nothing or some small royalty but at any rate it probably costs you nothing thereafter in either time or money. 2. There is always a one-shot to net.sources 3. There is always the possibility that some other organization (usually University) would be willing to further distribute it (the old 'send us a tape and $50 and we'll send it back to you full of the stuff'.) I dunno, I was more interested in responses to 1. above. -Barry Shein, Boston University
