My advice is to give up! There are about 383 functions missing from XLISP 2.0,
including:
COERCE, TYPECASE, TYPEP
COPY-LIST, COPY-TREE
DECF, INCF
DECLARE, LOCALLY
DEFCONSTANT, DEFPARAMETER, DEFVAR, DEFSETF, DEFSTRUCT, DEFTYPE
DESCRIBE, DOCUMENTATION
EVAL-WHEN
EVERY, SOME
FILL-POINTER
FIND, POSITION, SEARCH
FUNCTIONP
GETF
GETHASH and friends
IN-PACKAGE, EXPORT, IMPORT, and friends
MACRO-FUNCTION
MAP, MAPCAN
VALUES and friends
POP, PUSH, PUSHNEW
WITH-OPEN-FILE and friends
Y-OR-N-P, YES-OR-NO-P
I'd say that's a fair bunch! Not to mention the condition system
and the LOOP macro in ANSI CL.
Mind you, if you do hear about v 2.1 being miles closer to CL, let
me know, will you?
