We are planning to do some prototyping work based on Common Lisp. For
this work we want to use sockets as interprocess communication
mechanism. Therefore, we would be very interested in a set of socket
interface routines written in (a)kcl.

Thanks in advance,

       Ernst

CLX, the Common Lisp X Windows library, communicates with the X server
using X sockets.  The CLX distribution therefore contains socket code
for various Lisp implementations, including (A)KCL.  At least if you
want your Lisp to connect to some kind of server via a TCP stream, you
should be able to use the connection code from CLX almost directly.

The latest version of CLX is available via anonymous FTP from
expo.lcs.mit.edu as /contrib/CLX.R4.4.tar.Z (1102893 bytes).
