Hello all,
I am trying to get access to the cmucl documentation and not having
much success. Every place I have lookew(dejanews, www.lisp.org,
cons.org) at http://cvs2.cons.org:8000/something or
ftp2.cons.org/something and it seems to be down. Is there somewhere
else that I can gain access to cmucl's docs on line.
Thank you
marc

Yes, the unpacked documentation still needs to be restored to the new
machine that now is cvs2.cons.org. In the meantime you should be able
to download the documentation package of the current (18c) release
from the download areas. See the News section of the CMU CL website
(http://www.cons.org/cmucl/news/index.html) for a list of active
mirrors, or you can try either
http://cvs2.cons.org/ftp-area/cmucl/release/18c/cmucl-18c.documents.tgz
or
ftp://cvs2.cons.org/pub/lisp/cmucl/release/18c/cmucl-18c.documents.tgz
The whole machine down-time mess and its aftermath should be resolved
in the next couple of weeks. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Regs, Pierre.

There is absolutly no need to apologize, you(cmu team) provide a
valuable service that I do not have to pay for. So please take your
time and get it done as soon as possible ;). I have the other pointers,
thank you and to the people who sent me email.

Since cvs2.cons.org is currently being reconfigured, if you are interested
in the EncyCMUCLopedia you may try the alternate site listed in my
