I have written a reference for XLISP 2.0 that I am making available for non-commercial use. It includes a description of each symbol, function, special form and keyword available in XLISP. The parts of each reference entry include: Name of the entry Type of the entry (variable, function, etc.....) Location (built in or extension) Source file where code for entry is located Common LISP compatable level of CL compatabilitiy Supported on specifies machine dependencies Syntax defines the syntax or usage Description define conditions, results, defaults, etc. Examples example uses of the entry Comments notes, bugs, usage notes, etc. The reference is available for anonymous FTP on host cs.orst.edu, in the pub/xlisp directory, file xlispref.txt (a plain ASCII text file, roughly 412k in size). It is requested that you retrieve this file ONLY during non-working hours (say 7pm to 7am, Pacific Time). There will be a few other machines that the reference will be ftp'able from (including simtel20). I'll post the info on these new machines here in comp.lang.lisp.x.

The machines that currently have the xlisp reference are: machine directory file file contents ----------------------------------------------------------------------- a.cs.uiuc.edu pub xlisp.ref clear ASCII cs.orst.edu pub/xlisp xlispref.txt clear ASCII qed.rice.edu pub xlisp.tar tar of compressed ASCII For those unfamiliar with ftp, the steps I used on UNIX to get files are as follows. Note that the lower case characters are what you need to type. ftp <machine> NAME: anonymous PASSWORD: anonymous FTP> cd pub FTP> get <file> To unpack the tar version, after you have received the file, do the following UNIX commands: tar xvf xlisp.tar uncompress xlisp.ref.Z
