Is anyone out there doing any work with X windows? I would like to develop on the Xerox machine in Common Lisp, and then port to some other as yet unspecified machine that supports CL and X. It seems that an X emulation package is the kind of thing someone ought to have done already or at least it should be in progress. If not, I may have to do it myself. -Steve Clark, steve@siemens.com, ....!princeton!siemens!steve

With the risk of starting a "holy" war: The same for NeWS, though the amount of work is perhaps somewhat greater: writing a postscript-like interpreter and doing the keyboard handling. Fons Botman

As I remember there was a version of X-windows written in Interlisp, Intermezzo
release. This was mentioned, last year I believe, on Info-1100. It should
be accessible on the ARPA net. If this information is of some use, I could try
and dig it up, unless someone else has something more up to date.

That was X.10 which is really outmoded given the X.11 system that is now available(not for 11xx's though). BUT, Robert Scheifler and a couple of other folks have been working on CLX for version 11 for quite some time now, and it is pretty well along. I would take this path if I were to think of an X implementatin for any system. I know that X.11 has working clients and servers for SUNS, VAXs, and PC's (and probably others) and the CLX stuff is a client implementation which is being debugged under CL on TI explorers and symbolics machines as well as Lucid common lisp I believe. Good luck, Bill -------

I have ftp'ed a copy of this system from sumex-aim (I believe) but haven't found time to really play around with it. -- Juergen Wagner, gandalf@Russell.Stanford.edu Center for the Study of Language and Information (CSLI), Stanford CA
