Has anybody been able to locate the Web site of the book "Object-Oriented
Common Lisp" by S. Slade (Prentice-Hall)? According to the author it should
be at:
http://www.prenhall.com/divisions/ptr/
But after some search I only found a page describing the book, with a link
for downloading some unspecified software leading to an empty directory on
an FTP site. This doesn't look like the material mentioned in Appendix A.

Prentice-Hall lied through their teeth on this one. I drew their attention
to the problem when when I first bought the book, a long time ago. They
promised to look into it right after the holidays. Despite repeated queries,
I have never received any further response from them.
As a result, I look much harder at any Prentice-Hall title. Anything from
them that promises "Internet resources" gets discounted as another lie.

At least you got a response. All me queries to them went unanswered.

BTW I already pointed out when this thread started months ago that the
OOCL website is at:
http://eldorado.stern.nyu.edu/~sslade/lisp/
But since we are dissing on Prentice-Hall. Early this year they
announced the forthcoming 2nd edition of Graham's ANSI Common Lisp for
spring 1999. My librarian learned from them that it is delayed until
2000 and now I see no signs of its pending existence. I believe that the
book must be complete because they had had a new page count and outline.
I can only speculated that Prentice-Hall sees to much profit in internet
and Java books to even break stride and pick up $50 off the floor.

Thank you VERY much for posting that. Apparently Slade put the site
together, and gave it to Prentice-Hall, and the THEORY was that they would
hotlink it, but someone dropped the ball.
