In reply to: [sun!CIP.UCI.EDU!iba: Franz (or Lucid) interface w/ X]
I was about to hack such an interface to allow calling X functions from
lisp. Has anyone already gone to this trouble? Otherwise, I will go ahead.

I have a hack to call X10R4 from Scheme (a lisp dialect from MIT and
available via MIT or the Free Software Foundation). The hack was for
a quick and dirty prototype and thus I did not invest much time
installing X functions that I would not need. I also
simplified/reduced the number of arguements in some cases. The
functionality installed was sufficient to make a "real time"
interactive prototype of a UI including pop-up menus, title bars, a
window manager, etc.
As something to distribute, I am not proud of this code. As a quick
and dirty job, it is acceptable. It might be the seed of a more
complete interface.
Contact me to arrange a transfer of the code and/or the
versions of Gnu-Emacs (18.38 or 18.44) and C-Scheme (Sun, MCV 9.45,
R5.1.0, Beta 2.9) that we used.
Please forward any other interesting replies; perhaps a community of
Lisp X'ers (or X Lispers?) will develop.
Long live the Free Software Foundation!
