CLUE 7.20 is now available to the public via anonymous ftp. This version of CLUE introduces two new companion systems, as well as many fixes and a few specification changes. Be sure to review the information found in ./README, ./clue/README, and ./clue/doc/re- lease.7-20. Anyone interested may receive source code and documentation via anonymous ftp from CSC.TI.COM, (internet address 128.247.159.141) in /pub/clue.tar.Z, or from EXPO.LCS.MIT.EDU in /contrib/clue.tar.Z. CLUE 7.20 includes the following subdirectories: ./clue The Common Lisp User Interface Environment (CLUE) is a portable system for user interface programming in Common Lisp. CLUE, which is based on the X Window System and the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS), extends the CLX interface to provide an architectural model for the construction of interactive Lisp applications. Modelled on the Xt toolkit library, CLUE could be described as a translation of the Xt "intrinsics" into the domain of Common Lisp and CLOS. ./clio Common Lisp Interactive Objects (CLIO) is a set of CLOS classes that represent the standard components of an object-oriented user interface --- such as text, menus, buttons, scroller, and dialogs. CLIO is designed to be a portable system written in Common Lisp and based on CLX, CLUE, and CLOS. CLIO specifies an application progam interface that is look-and-feel independent. That is, the look-and-feel of CLIO components is encapsulated within the implementation of the CLIO interface. A sample implementation for OPEN LOOK (TM AT&T) is provided. ./pictures Pictures is an object-oriented graphics package built on CLX, CLUE, and CLOS. Pictures provides a set of classes for creating, transforming, and interacting with hierarchical structures of 2D graphical primitives.
