[comp.lang.clos] The sun, moon and stars!

Robert.Coyne@CAD.CS.CMU.EDU (03/15/91)

I have a fairly complex and promising application written in CL, CLOS
and CLX.  It is time to graduate to a new version which will demand a
much more complete environment for both developers and end-users.

Required are (at least):
    a browser
    an object editor
    an object-hierarchy grapher (tree grapher)
    a portable graphics toolkit to X11
     (asynchronous interaction required & support for active objects preferred)

Also desired is support for object persistence.

I know that all of these extensions/utilities of CL/CLOS have been
discussed and are available as separate pieces or in certain
combinations.  In fact there seems to be an enormously confusing array
of some or all of these facilities in various states of maturation.
(I'll bet that I'm not the only satisfied expanded-CL user who has greater
ambitions for its use but who is daunted by the task of assessing and
assembling more tools into a coherent environment).

Would some kind and knowledgable person(s) summarize/suggest
alternative configurations of existing and available tools that would
produce something close to the complete environment described above?
(any combinations of commercial implementations and supported/documented
research tools are acceptable - it would also be nice if the whole were
as compact, portable and efficient as possible .... :-)


Ok, so it appears that I don't want much, only the 'sun, moon and
stars', ... but I am willing to reach a little, especially if they can
be had in a package deal.

Thanks,

And could someone also summarize what all these are for the less
knowledgeable?

Thank you.
