A new, complete, up-to-date, formatted version of the documentation for CLX (the Common LISP X Interface) is now available to the public via anonymous ftp from csc.ti.com (Internet address 128.247.159.141) Anyone interested may find the documentation in the directory: pub/clxman/ It comes in two forms. This first is Interleaf ASCII source format which is contained in the *.doc files. The second is postscript printer format which is contained in the *.ps files. Compressed versions of the collections of these files may be found in the files: pub/clxman/doc.tar.Z (Interleaf ASCII form) pub/clxman/ps.tar.Z (postscript form) Hopefully, this documentation will also soon be available as a part of the R4 distribution of the X Window System from the MIT X Consortium.

I only tested the postscript output for the new CLX documentation on TI and
Apple printers so there may be some problems on others. Not knowing much
about postscript I must rely on expert assistance. Here is a suggestion from
one person.

Thanks for the new documentation. It looks really good so far.
Two problems:
1) All of the postscript files are missing the "%!" magic
header. This will probably confuse a lot of people.
2) Your postscript prolog needs the following:
userdict /letter known not {/letter {} def} if
so that the files will print on printers other than Apple
LaserWriter's such as DEC LPS-40's.
Thanks again,
-- Chris.
