[comp.lang.clos] How to convert form Flavours to Clos? Any good documents ?

yusuf@aristotle.ils.nwu.edu (Yusuf Pisan) (05/07/91)

I will have to convert a program which was written using Flavours in
Lucid 1.1 to Clos.

I am quite unfamiliar with both "styles"

What are the good books to read or to have as referrence ?

Are there any specific documents describing how to do the conversion ?

Thanks in advance...

   I will have to convert a program which was written using Flavours in
   Lucid 1.1 to Clos.

There is a very sketchy public-domain Flavors-in-CLOS implementation
available by anonymous FTP from MEDIA-LAB.MIT.EDU.  The file is called
"artificial-flavors.lisp", and was written by Michael Travers,
<mt@media-lab.mit.edu>.  It is very incomplete, but it should get you
started.

   What are the good books to read or to have as referrence ?

Sonya Keen's book, Object-Oriented Programming in Common Lisp, is a
good, gentle introduction to CLOS.
