Hi,
I got the source code for xlisp from an ftp site, but it's got msdos-
specific code in it.
I started trying to modify it to run under unix, but then I thought,
"Hey, somebody must have already done this".
Does anyone have or know of such a thing? If not, what is the current
favorite common-lisp for which source is available to build it on unix?
I'm taking a class in lisp, and I'd rather not have to do the homeworks
on an IBM PC.
thanks a lot!

My account has been messed up, and I have been unable to post for the last
week or so, but I wanted to post a follow-up to this, since I got the
answer via e-mail and a couple of people asked me to forward any replies
to them.
The archie search for xlisp turned up a package that had a file called
"uxstuff.c" in it. The readme file said that uxstuff could be used as a
guide. Turns out this has already been done, along with a lot of other
work on a package called "winterp" which has xlisp underneath it.
The key file is now called "unixstuff.c", and I was able to build xlisp
with only a small edit to the makefile. This package is bundled with winterp
under the X11 contrib hierarchy at giza.cis.ohio-state.edu, for instance.
I want to thank everyone who wrote. By the way, the hint in another article
about ESC-x run-lisp from GNU emacs was also very helpful.
(good-bye from tim-werner)
