Hi, Does anyone have more information on the Meiko Common Lisp implementation that should be (according to Meiko) on beta test at 2 universities in the UK ? We would like to hear more about performance, user friendliness (or the lack of it) and so on. My other question regards 3L C. We are trying to implement a full-text retrieval document system on transputers with massive databases (several hundreds of megabytes) which we would like to make as parallel as possible. We need some information on the ability of 3L C to read disks from any processor in the network (v2.0 did not do that, but maybe v2.1 does ...). If it does, it would be interesting to see the performance of that. Thanks very much in advance, Patrick ***************************************************************************** * Patrick Van Renterghem, BITNET: pvr@bgerug51.bitnet * * R&D Assistant, EDU: pvr%bgerug51.bitnet@cunyvm.cuny.edu * * State University of Ghent UUCP: mcvax!bgerug51.bitnet!pvr * * Belgium JANET: PVR%earn.bgerug51@earn-relay * * * * Belgian Regional Transputer Support Center manager, * * Automatic Control Lab/The Transputer Lab, Tel: +32 91 22 57 55 ext. 313 * * State University of Ghent, Fax: +32 91 22 85 91 * * Grotesteenweg Noord 2, * * B-9710 Ghent-Zwijnaarde, Belgium * *****************************************************************************
