Hello, I'm searching for a specific paper about the mixin style in
early Lisp-OO programming and how to use it in large-scale projects. I
seem to remember that it is written by one of the original Flovors
designers, David Moon maybe.

I you recognise what paper I mean and have the exact reference, please
let me know.

Thanks.

Martin

 No guarantee for anything. Anyway, this posting is probably produced by one
 of my cats stepping on the keys. No, I don't have an infinite number of cats.

You're probably thinking of

I believe what you want is:

Cannon, Howard I., "Flavors: A non-hierarchical approach to object-oriented
programming," Symbolics, Inc., 1982

Check the bibliography of Sonya Keene's book on Object-Oriented Programming in
Common Lisp, Addison-Wesley.
