Is there any Public domain Common lisp for OS/2 2.0 ???
I do have os2xlisp (16bit app) but i m not happy with it (not true
CL, missing features...).
Did anyone ported KCL or something like that to OS/2 ? (or do i have to do
it myself ?? :) )
Thanx

Actualy, I don`t know any 32-BIT Common Lisp for OS/2. But there is hope! Last
week I got CLISP for DOS from ma2s2.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de [129.13.115.2].
Here comes a description of it :
====================== start of file "clisp.README" ===========================
This is CLISP, a Common Lisp implementation.
CLISP is mostly CLtL1 compliant. For those who want to use CLOS, I also
provide a port of PCL. No other features of CLtL2 or dpANS CL are
currently supported.
The newest versions will always be available via anonymous ftp from
ma2s2.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de [129.13.115.2], directory /pub/lisp/clisp/.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Common Lisp CLISP
Common Lisp is
* a convential programming language and an AI language
* interactive
* a Lisp for professional use
Common Lisp programs are
* easy to test (interactive)
* easy to maintain (depending on programming style)
* portable (there is a standard for the language and the library functions)
Our Common Lisp CLISP
* needs only 1.5 MB of memory
* implements 99% of the standard
* can call your preferred editor
* is freely distributable
Common Lisp provides
* clear syntax, carefully designed semantics
* several data types: numbers, strings, arrays, lists, characters, symbols,
structures, streams etc.
* runtime typing: the programmer needn't bother about type declarations,
but he gets notified on type violations.
* many generic functions:
88 arithmetic functions for all kinds of numbers (integers, ratios,
floating point numbers, complex numbers),
44 search/filter/sort functions for lists, arrays and strings
* automatic memory management (garbage collection)
* packaging of programs into modules
* macros: every programmer can make his own language extensions
Our Common Lisp CLISP provides
* an interpreter
* a compiler which makes execution of programs 5 times faster
* all data types with unlimited size (the size need never be declared,
the size of lists and arrays may be changed dynamically)
* integers of arbitrary length, unlimited floating point number precision
* 594 library functions, 542 of them written in C
Get it via anonymous ftp from ma2s2.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de [129.13.115.2],
directory /pub/lisp/clisp/, or contact
Bruno Haible <······@ma2s2.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de>.
========================= end of file "clisp.README" ==========================
I immediately tried to run CLISP under OS/2 but I failed. So I contacted Bruno
Haible if there were a port of it for OS/2. Well, he told me that this would be
no big problem, since CLISP uses the EMX 32/BIT Extender (i. e. it is NO
program restricted by 64 KByte segments of MS-DOS etc). At the moment, I am
copying the sources (about 6.7 MByte!!!) and will try to recompile them under
OS/2 using EMX/GCC. So, call me in about two weeks if I succeeded. Or, get the
sources yourself (from ma2s2.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de) and do the same...

Staying in the freeware/shareware domain, there's a new 32-bit version
of some sort of LISP that just came out. It should be available via
anonymous ftp from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in /pub/uploads (although it could
be moved). Look in all the subdirectories off of /pub/uploads.
I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but it sounds like a
step in the right direction, at least.
