Some time ago there was mention of a package called ELK (Extensible Lisp Kernel ?), a standalone Scheme implementation intended to be the kernel of applications such as editors. Is this package available via FTP from anywhere ?

I have submitted the package to the moderator of comp.sources.unix about two months ago. He has not yet posted it; in fact, the newsgroup seems to be entirely dead. Thus I'm contemplating to post Elk to either comp.sources.misc or alt.sources. You can FTP the software from na-net.stanford.edu or patience.stanford.edu (36.8.0.154); look into the directory pub/elk. I'm sending individual copies by e-mail to sites without FTP access (but not over UUCP). -- Oliver Laumann net@TUB.BITNET net@tub.UUCP

Sounds great to me.. If I understand what this is.. It may be a method of getting past some real world prejudice against lisp (ie IT'S NOT C!!!! YOU CAN'T USE IT!!!) on the part of my employers. These intolarable reactionaries presently maintain an application that consists of 55 million (I'm not exaggerating) lines of IBM BAL. > two months ago.

I've been looking for this and other goodies on comp.sources.unix. Seems to me the alt hierarchy is just begging to come to the rescue. Anon. FTP? Please, I'ld consider the bandwidth to post it very well spent indeed.
