Hello,

I'm doing a small report comparing the object oriented features of C++ 
and CLOS.  I come from a C++ background and have spent some time getting 
up to speed on CLOS.  I'm impressed by its extensibility and flexability.

A question I have is "What types of real-world applications are being 
developed in CLOS, and what specific features of CLOS make it suitable 
for those apps".   If you develop apps in CLOS, I'd appreciate hearing 
from you.  Thanks very much.

Frank.

you may find the book Object-Oriented Programming, the CLOS perspective,
edited by Andreas Paepcke, MIT press, 1993, ISBN 0-262-16136-2 a useful
addition to your research.  it has a paper on comparing CLOS and C++ by
Linda G. DeMichiel.  it may be somewhat dated, considering that C++ has
been suffering a bad case of cancerous growth in ISO.

   Correct me if I'm mistaken, but isn't this only a server? I did not see any
   reference to a client, though it was a rather cursory glance.

You are right. It is mostly a server, though some CLIM code is
available (obviously for thise who have CLIM).
