I'm sure that the following questions have been asked before, but I've been unable to find the answers, and I'd appreciate it if someone could help me out and mail this information to me: (1) What is the most common Lisp interface to X in a Unix-Workstation environment (from what I've heard, I assume it's CLX) (2) How complete, efficient, and fast is the Lisp interface to X as compared to the C interface (Xlib, etc..). What are the pros and cons of writing an X interface in Lisp as opposed to making foreign function calls from Lisp to C functions which handle the X interface? (3) Where could I find documentation/information on the Lisp interface to X and how to use it? (4) What's the best way to obtain this Lisp interface to X and get it running on either a VAXstation or a Sun? Thanks for any and all help! Dave Miller. (davidsm@athena.mit.edu)
