: -------------------------------- README ------------------------------------
: WHAT'S Lily?
: ------------
: This directory contains the Lily (LIsp LibrarY) C++ class library which gives
: C++ programmers the capability to write LISP-style code.
: I think Lily will be useful in academia for instructors who
: want to teach artificial intelligence techniques with C++. The
: garbage collection mechanism employed by Lily is slow which will make it
: unattractive for commercial use.
: DISCLAIMER
: ----------
: This is the first release of Lily. My hope is that lots of people will
: be interested in Lily. If that turns out to be the case then I will gladly
: enhance Lily and its documentation. But for now, I just want to get Lily
: out there and get some feedback.
: DOCUMENTATION
: -------------
: Documentation is minimal. The "Lily User's Guide" (in file lily.txt) provides
: a good overview of the architecture of Lily -- the document is unfinished.
: All of the example programs are from Winston's book "LISP Second Edition" so
: you will be much better off if you have a copy. Steele's "Common LISP"
: describes the behavior of the LISP functions.
: COMPILERS SUPPORTED
: -------------------
: Lily works well with GNU g++ version 2.4.5 (and probably earlier releases).
: Lily works with Turbo C++ for Windows but not with Turbo C++ (though the
: current version hasn't been tested with Turbo C++ for Windows).
: Lily does *not* work with AT&T's cfront because cfront does not handle
: temporary objects very well.
: If you try Lily on another compiler please inform me as to whether it
: works or not (see FEEDBACK) so I can include that information in future
: releases.
: INSTALLATION
: ------------
: Anonymously get lily-0.1.tar.gz from sunsite.unc.edu (152.2.22.81) in
: directory /uploads
: Uncompress and untar Lily:
: % gunzip -c lily-0.1.tar.gz | tar xvf -
: To make the Lily library and all the examples just type 'make'.
: EXAMPLES
: --------
: The best way to learn about Lily is to examine the example programs.
: The example programs are Lily translations of Lisp programs found
: in the book "LISP", second edition by Winston and Horn.
: Most or all of chapters 17, 18, and 23 are implemented in the examples.
: Chapter 17: Symbolic Pattern Matching
: Chapter 18: Expert Problem Solving Using Rules and Streams
: Chapter 23: LISP in LISP
: COPYING
: -------
: Lily uses the GNU Library General Public License (see the file COPYING.LIB).
: Have fun!

Hi there,
I tried to get into sunsite and do ftp but the directory in uploads
complained about "unreadable." Any clue?
Wing.
