I'd like any references to oaklisp.
Ie. what is it? What's special about it?
Who wrote it? What papers have been written about
it? Is a public domain implementation available?
Thanks.

Oaklisp is a fully object based scheme written by Barak A. Pearlmutter
and Kevin J. Lang at CMU. Last I heard oaklisp ran on Suns, and
most other Unix boxes with minimal work. I believe Bruce Horn was
going to finish the Mac port (but I believe he got too busy to finish
it?).
Papers descibing the work include:
@article( LANG88 ,
author = "Kevin J. Lang and Barak A. Pearlmutter",
title = "Oaklisp: an Object-Oriented Dialect of Scheme",
publisher = "Kluwer Academic Publishers",
journal = "Lisp and Symbolic Computation",
year = "1988",
month = may,
volume = "1",
number = "1",
pages = "39-51"
)
@inproceedings(OAK-PAP,
author = "Kevin J. Lang and Barak A. Pearlmutter",
title = "Oaklisp: an Object-Oriented Scheme with First Class Types",
booktitle = "ACM Conference on Object-Oriented Systems, Programming,
Languages and Applications",
pages = "30-37",
month = sep,
year = "1986"
)
Sources and docs can be anonymous ftped from host DOGHEN.BOLTZ.CS.CMU.EDU.
Everything (I believe) is in /oaklisp/release.tar.Z

The last version I picked up from doghen compiled and ran on my Amiga with
little modification--I changed some of the macros because of brain damage
in the C preprocessor, but otherwise it was straightforward. Of course, it
was pretty slow on a 7 MHz 68000, and there was no nifty graphics interface,
but it worked. I would assume from my experience that it would be reasonably
easy to port to other 68000 machines with a reasonable amount of memory.

Could someone mail me the numeric internet address of doghen, it doesn't appear
in the local /etc/hosts.
