	When was XLISP first placed into the public domain ?
	With the DECUS release of V1.1 in 1983 (beacuse of its
	heritage on the PDT-11/150) ?  [I am interested because
	I am writing my own manual to document V1.1, and I want
	to give it proper credit.]

	Did V1.0 ever see the light of (public) day ?

	I can find references for:

	XLISP V1.1, DECUS, 1983.  DECUS 11-626 has it in XLSUBR.C.
	XLISP V1.2, BCS AI SIG, 1984.  in Bonnie Fladung's book.

Hi,
  I've ftp'd a copy of Xlisp (version 2.1d) to my local machine and compiled
it.  I'm not sure about the status of this version of lisp, though.  Can
anybody tell me: is it ``industrial strength'' -- i.e. is it bug-free enough
that this version would actually be used by anybody?  In particular, does it
make sense to try to teach lisp using this version (in my introductory AI
course here at Mines)?
  Thanks.

Subject: Was XLISP ever ported to VMS?
Organization: Applied Microsystems, Redmond, WA

I thought that, perhaps a long time ago, XLISP could be compiled to run on
VAX systems running VMS.  Can anyone confirm or deny this, or provide any 
other history?  We have an application that could use XLISP, but we have to
be able to support VMS systems as well.

Finally, does anyone have a working email address for David Betz?  I'd like 
to find out what restrictions, if any, would prevent us from using XLISP in
a particular application.

Thanks in advance,

Um, I don't think David Betz established copyright prior to version
1.7 -- the last PD version was incorporated into a well known CAD
package without acknowledgement, and that sort of forced the issue
upon him.

Subject: Typep problem on array dimensions?
Organization: The MITRE Corporation

I create an array like this:

               :initial-element 0.0))

  -->  (simple-array double-float (4 4)).

But here's what I get when I try a typep:

 (typep ar '(simple-array double-float (4 4))) 
  --> nil

At first I thought this was a type discrimination problem,
but MCL 2.0 stores double-floats as double-floats; and then
I found:

  (typep ar '(simple-array double-float (* *)))
  --> t

What gives?

The answer is very simple, the init you want
costs about 100$ and is called a 4MEG upgrade!

MCL needs a mininum for itself of about 3.5MEG
and your system7 will take a minimum of about
1MEG.

3.5 + 1.0 > 4.0   ->   problems

In fact, the only real question you have to answer
is whether or not you should not step directly to
20MEG (4x4MEGS plus your original 4) and save yourself
the disheartening experience of upgrading to 8x1MEG
and having later to trash 4x1MEG to install a new
upgrade to 20MEG. (I know the feeling :-( ).

If you can spare the money, go for 20MEGS. MCL will
be happy, your other softwares will be happy, you
will be happy (except for your bank account :-) ).

Explanation:
You don't say which version that you are using. If you're using MCL2.0b1p3
or earlier, you'll need to specify (ccl::reindex-interfaces) otherwise
specify (reindex-interfaces). The system is telling you that the index files
(files ending in .idx in the library/interfaces/index folder)
are not compatible with the source files describing the interfaces to
the traps (in the library/interfaces folder).

The traps are automatically loaded in MCL2.0 final.

To free up the memory, you can exit from lisp after reindexing the interfaces
which takes several minutes and then you can restart Lisp. The traps should
work properly.

As the originator of the Fred Commands window, I'd like to state
that Yost's formatting is a definate improvement on mine. [Thanks David!]
I'd vote for one change to Yost's:

It would be good to minimize the distance between the cmd syntax and
its function name. So I'd respell 
ForwardArrow to FwdArrow, take out an additional space and shift the
fn names left by 4 spaces. This makes the forwardArrow lines harder to read but
everything else easier to read.

A nice extension would be to put a sentence of documentation in a 3rd column to the
right. For instance, the meaning of "ed-yank" might not be obvious to the
new user but a short description of it would clear up misunderstandings.

  In the case of this trap (_HFSDispatch), as near as I can tell from New
Inside Macintosh: Files, you "just know".  But...this is a very common
pattern:  A0 containing a pointer to a parameter block, a selector (when
used) in D0, and D0 being set to an error code result.  (The older Inside
Macs were a little more explicit.  If you have to construct one of these
and don't "know", copy another one.

PBHOpenDF.  OpenDF doesn't exist.  (That is, OpenDF is a creature of
higher-level languages, which take their parameters, stuff them into a
(surprise) parameter block, and make the PB... call (and then do the right
thing with the return value, which sometimes is to stash it somewhere, and
sometimes is simply to return it (by moving it onto the stack in Pascal,
and perhaps, but not here, moving it to a different register in C). 
But...there is no OpenDF routine in the ROM to call.  NIM: Files makes no
mention of PBOpenDF, by the way (consistent with the rest NIM: Files, which
doesn't cover MFS volumes).  Afterthought:  it seems to me that the
difference between PBHOpenDF and PBOpenDF, if there is a difference, is
flagged in the "other bit" (10 or 9) of the trap word.  Don't bet the farm
on that one.

>   5. Why is only one arg. (pb) supplied when OpenDF takes 3,
>      PBOpenDF takes 2, and PBHOpenDF takes 2.
    The asynch parameter (a boolean) is an oddity, which gets stuffed into
one of the bits of the trap code (bit 9 or 10...I'd have to check).  Why
the Mac team did this one this way back in the early 1980s, I've never
really known.  It's "magic".  Some other parameters are treated like this,
too (eg, the case sensitive and diacritical sensitive flags in the
EqualString utility call).

>

error code -50 is "paramater error".  I'm not sure under what conditions,
if any, this trip will produce it.
>

New Inside Macintosh: Files will become the standard reference.  For now,
IM-VI will do until you get the new book (you NEED the new series of
books...many of the Tech Notes are being absorbed into them and will be
discontinued as Tech Notes).  IM-V or IV can be helpful in some areas like
which register is used for what.

The choose file dialog is not MCL's own but the standard
one from the macintosh OS. So, you will have to write your

Yeah, what IS a good CDROM drive?  I have a IIfx with lots of memory
and system 7.  Do I need to buy an interface card separately?

Subject: Is there a version of inline-argcheck-patch.fasl for 2.0 final?

At optimization level 3, MCL 2.0B1p3 needed the patch file
inline-argcheck-patch.fasl to fix a bug that appeared with
inline functions with a large number of arguments.

Is there another version of this for 2.0 final, or will the
version for 2.0B1p3 work for 2.0 final as well?

Thanks,

Is there an easy way to get choose-file-dialog to return a list of selected 
files? Or do I need to write  a dialog from scratch?

Thanks in advance,
