[net.lang.lisp] XLISP documentation wanted

jcw@cvl.UUCP (Jay C. Weber) (07/26/84)

Just in the past week I posted the entire source code for XLISP to
net.sources, so look there.  As for examples, I think in a short time
many USENETers will be able to provide some -- I know of at least
three dozen people who are presently getting XLISP going.  One person
even said he was working on an XLISP-PROLOG!

A month or two back, I downloaded from a local PC BBS a version of
Lisp attributed to David Betz, called XLISP.  The documentation is
intriguing, as it is an object-oriented dialect.  This is the only
object-oriented language that I know of that runs on a PC.  Further-
more, it is apparently in the public domain.  I'm really excited
about experimenting with it.  My problem is that the documentation
is very sparse.

I know it derives from a CP/M C-language version.  Does anyone have
the source codefor this XLISP available in PC-readable format?
Better yet, does anyone hae better documentation, or object-oriented
code examples? I know how to program in Lisp, I just need better
documentation o the OO extensions.



Thanx for any help you can give
