Yes, "mille grazie". I hope you understand my thank you (appologies for the
lousy Italian)

The copy I look at is www.cs.cmu.edu/Groups/AI/html/faqs/lang/lisp/top.html and
was last updated on 10th August 1997. Is this the `bleeding-edge' document?

I agree and would also like to thank the authors of this. I would like to add
them to the legion ranks of the ilisp writers and maintainers and to
`buy-them-a-pint' or equivalent.

Yes. This is excellent news.
Following on from the other postings in this thread, are there any moves to
update the FAQ? I would be prepared to do this. But I would also understand if
people didn't want me to ... (I do suffer from what a friend of mine describes
as `arse-elbow syndrome').
Best Regards,

The code generated by your Italian compiler is correct and efficient :)

I think so.

You should probably check with Barry Margolin.

Why? I wrote the initial FAQ, but have not maintained it, Mark Kantrowitz
has always performed that duty. The FAQ mentions a mailing list to send
FAQ updates and suggestions to.

That is perfectly correct. I did not mean to cause offence to you or to Mark
Kantrowitz. If I did, please accept my apologies.
The question that I should have asked is `is the FAQ currently being
actively maintained?' There are a number of recurring questions that appear
on c.l.l. that could be answered sensibly by something like the FAQ. So
before digging myself into a deeper hole, I will follow the procedure
outlined. And let this be an end to the matter.
