[comp.sys.encore] IBUKI Common Lisp on the Encore

bob@ibuki.UUCP (Bob Brandt) (12/07/89)

Naveen,

IBUKI Common Lisp is available on the Encore machine (and has been for the last
2 years).  It is a fully supported derivative of KCL with many performance and
feature enhancements.

IBUKI Common Lisp (IBCL) runs on nearly 40 different platforms and
environments.  IBCL is a full implementation of Common Lisp containing all
of the Common Lisp functions, macros, and special forms specified in the
book "Common Lisp:  The Language" by Guy Steele Jr.

IBCL has a compiler and interpreter, a debugger, tracing functions, an error
handling system, an interface to X-windows, and a standardized interface to 
emacs-like editors.  CLX is supported as is CLOS.

IBUKI Common Lisp is ideal for use in an educational institution.  It will
run on small (4mb) workstation configurations, provides identical behavior
across all of the supported environments, and has extensive on line
documentation.  IBUKI offers a department site license for $2500 which
provides for the use of IBCL on all machines owned by the department on
which IBCL runs.  Both source and object distribution are available under
this program, which may be extended to cover the entire campus.  Software
support and new releases are available at nominal charges.

More than 1/6th of the computer science departments in North American
schools as well as numerous European and Asian schools have now taken
advantage of IBUKI's educational program.  There is thus a growing
international community of universities that use IBUKI Common Lisp as a
tool for teaching and research.
