I am interested in finding out what it takes to get foreign functions into
Franz Lisp and what restrictions might apply. In particular, I would like to
be able to bring in C functions. The Franz manual is pretty much useless in
this area. I am running Franz Opus 38.92 on a Sun under Sun Unix version 3.2.
I understand that someone has taken the time to actually work through this and
has published a paper outlining the steps. Either a summary or pointer to the
paper would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You are probably looking for:
"Parlez-Vous Franz ? An Informal Introduction to Interfacing
Foreign Functions to Franz Lisp," by James R. Larus, PAM-124,
Computer Science Division, Department of Electrical Engineering and
Computer Sciences, UC Berkeley, 1983.
Since the paper has a "PAM" id, I believe it was published by the
Pure and Applied Mathematics Dept, even though it says "Computer
Science Division" on the cover. . . .
