[comp.windows.x] CLX pointers

wasmith@gollum.UUCP (Wayne A. Smith) (10/21/88)

  
Anybody out there know how I can get the 
source for CLX (an interface to X for lisp)? 
Thanks in advance for pointers. 
  
Also, is CLX vastly different from XCL?
As I understand it the X guys at MIT came
up with XCL. Where did CLX come from?

In the standard MIT X11 distribution, in lib/CLX.

Yes.

You have it backwards.  The CLX design comes primarily from MIT (the
bulk of the implementation was done by LaMott Oren at TI).  XCL comes
from David C. Martin at Berkeley, now dcmartin@cs.wisc.edu, I think; XCL
is for X10.
