I've just gotten the new foreign function interface for Allegro Common
Lisp and the docs say it works with (actually, it's most convenient to use
with) any object files *in MPW format*. Now it happens that what I really
wnat to do is to use it to call routines written in LSC 3.0. I notice
that LSC comes with an application to convert object files *from* MPW *to*
LSC format, but not the reverse. Does anyone know of a LSC -> MPW
converter? Is there perhaps some arcane way to cause LSC to generate MPW
format object files?
Any hints will be greatly appreciated!
Think of the possibilities! Prototype in lisp, then convert piece by piece
into C for optimization! I feel like the spiders in a Larson cartoon
who've spun a web across the bottom of a kids' slide in a park, one of
them saying "If we pull this off, we'll eat like kings!"
