I recently posted a message asking about the existence of a Lisp
interpreter for the Unix PC (article <326@primes.UUCP). I am glad
to announce I received e-mail informing me that there are a few Lisp
interpreters out there that will work.
Before showing the results I'd like to thank the following people for
their replies regarding this subject:
lgm@ihlpf.att.com Lawrence G. Mayka
attctc!kcdev!obrien John Obrien
att!cbnewsc!guy Guy R. Berentsen
wagner@umn-cs.cs.umn.edu Paul Wagner
canoaf@dept.csci.unt.edu Augustine Cano
If I missed anyone I haven't yet received your mail yet.
The replies came in on 10/1/89 and 10/2/89.
OK, here's what the above people informed me about:
(Austin) Kyoto Common Lisp (AKCL/KCL)
ported to the Unix-PC by Alex Crain
("a *real* Common Lisp")
x-lisp v.2.0
This should be around many archives from what I hear
Eclipse
It was once available on "The Store" to AT&T employees.
I'm not aware of what the rules are for anyone to get
this, or exactly where to find it now.
Paul Wagner stated that he heard Xlisp described as being 75% of
Common Lisp, but seems like most of the generally used features are
there.
If anyone knows of any other Lisp interpreter that works on the Unix-pc
please let me know. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled to see that the
above 3 interpreters are available. I tried stalling this post in case of
any late e-mail that may not have made it to me until a weekend, but
I believe all replies have made it through.
