Hi,
   How can I obtain a copy of the latest release of PCL ?
The CLUE documentation said I could obtain it from here.


                              From the First Circle,
                              Ken.

While compiling pcl on Vax Lisp 3.x  here are some error messages
about the following symbols having no-definition. Any suggestions on
how to fix these will be highly appreciated. 

make-instance
default-initargs
allocate-instance
initialize-instance
shared-initialize
make-wrapper
inform-type-system-about-class

I could get around these bugs by doing (defun *symbol* nil) (which is
arbitrary). 

there is also a problem with system::set-svref where the argument is
expected to be an array, which i could get around by arbitrarily 
defun-ing it.

However, the following bug is persistent and I don't know
how to proceed around it:

(BOOTSTRAP-ACCESSOR-DEFINITIONS EQL-SPE ..UNBOUND-SLOT.. ..UNBOUND-SLOT..)

the error is: argument ..UNBOUND-SLOT.. is not a list


Thanks

Hi,
   My name is Sudipto and I am a graduate student at the Ohio State
University. I have a few questions regarding PCL.
   We are looking for a inference system to implement an expert system to
do Mechanical Synthesis. We were pointed to PCL by an U. Texas, Austin
contact. I would like to obtain documentation on PCL to examine it. I believe
it is public domain.
   I would appreciate if you point me to the public source and documentation
for PCL. Thanks, and looking forward to your reply

Sudipto

Try talking to Arun Welch at LAIR.  He's your local PCL/CLOS expert.

I just downloaded the tar version of the rainy day PCL rev 2. It works great. I
have had problems getting the Docs to work through TeX.  I really don't know
how to use TeX, but I can't even get started TeXing the file mop.tex. Any
suggestions? I am using two versions of TeX: one on a Sun4 the other is called
OzTeX for the Macintosh. Both say that it is running TeX version 3.0.
