I have run CLX on another brand of Lisp machine, an LMI Lambda, and displayed its windows on a Sun 3/50 running X. The Lambda has no X server, and had no X software of any kind until I brought up CLX. I have so far tested it only on some simple demos, but it seems to work fine. It was not unreasonably hard to bring up CLX on the Lambda, so I imagine anybody could do it on a Symbolics or any other Lisp machine too. There were various compilation problems to bypass, and a tiny machine-dependent function to write, open-x-stream. I would be happy to provide more details by E-mail, but they would be interesting only to LMI Lambda users. Jeffrey F. Painter painter@lll-crg.llnl.gov
