#N:ecn-ee:14000004:000:410 ecn-ee!rjs Aug 28 15:34:00 1984 (first line killer) Does anyone have a copy of the file flavors.l? It is mentioned in the ReadMe and Makefile in /usr/src/ucb/lisp/lisplib and is defined for autoload in toplevel.l, but it does not exist on our 4.2 distribution tape. This file was submitted by someone from MIT. It is part of a package to provide some LISP machine compatabilty to FRANZ. Thanks, Bob Safranek pur-ee!rjs

Hi,
The 4.2 unix does come with a file called flavorm.l
this is the same as flavors.l , only the 'm' stands fods
for MIT.
All you need do is load machacks.l followed by the
flavors package. Sounds ok.
If however you do not flavorm.l you can get it mailed
to you. From Berkley.

Suggestion: There IS a file /usr/lib/lisp/flavorm.l, which documents itself
to be roughly what you're looking for. Misspelling?

I have tried to load flavorm.l instead of flavor.l, I have even gone
so far as to copy flavorm.{o,l} to flavor.{o,l} but to no avail.
I may or may not be looking for the right thing though. I have a
copy of the LispMachine manual pages on Flavors (In particular the
defflavor function) is this the correct documentation for the Franz package?
The top level has an autoload of flavors.o when the function defflavor
is first called but upon loading of flavor{m}.o the function defflavor
is never created, is there more required? I have machacks and struct loaded
before the flavor load.

(In more detail: The file vanilla.l will also be required. Other necessary files, e.g. hash.l and struct.l, have been included by Berkeley for some time, although the useful functions they define do not appear in the Franz manual.) I have recently reintegrated the flavor system into Opus 38.91 and fixed incidental bugs in the flavor system and other MIT contributed code. However, since these files a quite large, I am unwilling to start distributing copies one by one. I'll try to get these new versions properly distributed through Berkeley, if I can figure out who there is in charge. There is also a tentative plan from the MIT Athena project to extract MIT Lisp Machine manual chapters for these packages, possibly producing them in a format compatible with the Franz documentation. If this happens, we will try also to get the documentation back to Berkeley. Otherwise, the packages will only be useful to those with access to Lisp Machine documentation. Steve Haflich

#R:ecn-ee:14000004:ecn-ee:14000005:000:442 ecn-ee!rjs Sep 5 15:47:00 1984 The file flavorm.l in the 4.2 BSD distribution is NOT all that is required... it does not support defflavor amoung other things. Since my original posting I have heard that distribution of the MIT flavors code had been restricted, but that the restrictions have recently been lifted. A note has been sent to ucbvax!franz-composers. As soon as I hear of anthing from them, I will post it to the net. Bob Safranek pur-ee!rjs
