The only place I have seen Xlisp 2.0 for the Mac is on wsmr-simtel20.army.mil, from which I am not able to download files with FTP. (Please don't send me mail on this. A half dozen or more of Penn State's best haven't been able to figure this out.) My question is: Where can I get Xlisp 2.0, preferably including the source code?

There are two things that may be stopping you from getting your xlisp from wsmr: 1) Type 'tenex' or 'l 8' before you ftp the file so the machine knows it is tranferring a binary file. 2) Make sure you have a file transfer program that will tranfer a macbinary from a unix (or other) machine. THis means when the transfer is done, you will have an actual macintosh file (aka an application or a document), not a text file that has to be binhexed. They recommend Red Ryder at wsmr, here at UCSF I used the macbinary kermit on a machine with Versaterm Pro. From the UNIX side just type UNIX> kermit -i -s <file> Best of luck. Here is the script I used to get it (If you have a .netrc you can just do things like UNIX> ftp wsmr-simtel20.army.mil < script > /dev/null & and mac-transfer your files when it is all done __________ tenex cd PD3:<MACINTOSH.CODE> get XLISP-2PT0-SRC.SHAR.1 cd PD3:<MACINTOSH.LANG> get XLISP-2PT0.PIT_HQX.1 get XLISP20-DOC.HQX.1 bye __________ Now does anyone have the xlisp patches to make franz lisp programs run (slowly) under xlisp? ------------ kscott@cca.ucsf.edu self-proclaimed net.pope
