I have the Golden Common Lisp 286 Developer version 2.14 software that
I've been trying to run on a 386 DOS PC.  Running GCLISPLM.EXE results
in
	Processor Exception 11: segment not present

I surmise that the problem is related GCLISPLM's use of extended
memory.  The program was designed for a 286 equipped with an extended
memory board such as AST Advantage.  Does anyone know of a fix for
this problem?

I've been told that Gold Hill Computers, the maker of GC LISP, has gone
out of business.  Can someone confirm this?

Any help will be appreciated.

I can most definitely confirm that it is *NOT* true, Gold Hill is
still alive. I don't have a number handy, but will forward your
question to someone who should be to contact you.

Assistance please,

I need the inverse trig functions in lisp.
In particular tan-1 as I need to find the
angle of a vector given its slope.

Steel's books (edition one and two) have
hyperbolic functions not inverse.

Many thanks in advance,

The names of the inverse trig functions are ASIN, ACOS, and ATAN.  These
are common to many computer languages, as abbreviations for arc sine, arc
cosine, and arc tangent).

Remember that tan-1 is also known as arctan, which in Common Lisp is
the ATAN function.

They're in business  ( 617 621-3300 ) and selling version 4.1 for many bucks.
I found that their older releases were pretty broken, but that the current
product is very usable.
