Subject: GNU Emacs/Lisp Interface ported to Lucid?

Message-ID: <duff.701982422@starbase>
folks at franz has written what appears to be a very nice and complete
package for connecting lisp and gnu emacs in such a way as to provide
the user with much of the functionality that one gets in zmacs on a
symbolics machine. they seem to have released their code for this
interface under the terms of the gnu emacs public license.
the complete system consists of both emacs lisp code that runs on the
emacs side and lisp code that runs inside the allegro lisp environment.
the lisp code is not pure common lisp - it uses foreign functions,
multi-process code, and probably a few other common lisp extensions.
thus, it is not directly portable.
i'm currently using lucid lisp and i was considering porting the lisp
side of this interface to work with lucid. last time i checked, allegro
and lucid provided essentially the same capabilities in terms of
foreign-function interface, multi-processing, etc, but with slightly
different interfaces.
anyway, before i tackled this problem, i thought it might pay to check
and see if anyone else might have done this already and would be willing
to share their results.
