Hi,

I can't get anything from the CLISP web site, so can anyone answer the
following:

- does the latest CLISP have support for ANSI pretty printing?
- if so, where can I get it from?

Thanks,
Andrew

I'm not sure, but a long time ago, I used Dick Water's XP package for
pretty printing and it worked just fine.  You can find XP at the CMU
Lisp archives (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/Groups/AI/html/repository.html).

if you mean the FORMAT pretty-printer directives as per CLHS 22.3.5
(such as ~_ / conditional newline) the answer is no; however there is
a pretty printer available as #'PPRINT.

when a web site is down, you can often access a cached version of its
web pages at google.com. There is a mirror at

I meant all the routines like pprint-logical-block (CLHS 22.4.7).  I
hadn't noticed 22.3.5 which looks like a simplified interface to the
same stuff (I only got the hyper spec yesterday - found it on the ACL
Linux demo disk - and have been using ClTl2, which doesn't seem to have
quite as much info in) (I know CLHS is available on the net, but I had
problems downloading it - my employer's machine (NT) is connected to the
net, but I work on a Linux box, and extra CRLF seem to appear in files
as before they get as far as that machine...)

Anyway, I'll have a look at PPRINT.

Cheers,
Andrew
