Hi,
I've started programming in Common LISP using PowerLISP on a mac. I really,
really, really like it! BUT the main advantage of XLISP over Common Lisp
for me (ymmv) is the statistical library that has been written for XLISP. In
my ideal world of scientific computing, Common LISP would be able to use
the STAT library of statistical functions that was originally written for XLISP.
Has anyone ported the STAT library from XLISP to Common LISP?
Simon.

If you are going to be a mantainer of such a project, you may count on
me as a contributor.

I think there was an (old) CL version of the statistics code on their
FTP server.

See: <ftp://ftp.stat.umn.edu/pub/xlispstat/other/CL/>
However: the readme mentions that it uses the C implementations
for some of the statistics and math code, so it is dependent on
Lisps foreign function interface. ( The readme also mentions
testing it on the Mac, among other systems, but this may be
with MCL. )
There is a Common Lisp implementation of the XlispStat object
system -- but the graphics is missing from the Common Lisp version.
( plus it's based on an older version of XlispStat )
