Hi everyone,

We are about to do a port of a program which was written in Lucid LISP
using LispView on the Sun to the SGI.  If anyone of you has any
experience or any answers to the following questions, I'd like to
hear from you.  We will consolidate the replies and post a summary.

1.  Has anybody tried or succeeded in getting LispView (and the XView)
    lib to run on the SGI machine?  Which version?

2.  Has anybody tried to get LispView running on a 24-bit SGI machine.

3.  The program that we are porting does blting.  Has anybody done
    blting using CLIM?  (Note: CLIM doesn't support blting, but has
    anybody manage to do it anyway?)


Any help is much appreciated!!

Thanks,
Patrick

Since CLIM's X interface is built on top of CLX, you can
(non-portably) write BITBLT code using xlib:copy-area.
