After fooling around this weekend trying to get something running on sbcl, I can see Tim why you decided to scrap boot and get everything below SPAD/Aldor into Lisp. Yikes.
Two questions: 1. Where is the most current work on that translation? Is it in the silver/gold branches? Or one of the tla archives? (Sorry if I missed this in my archive hunt - there were a lot of emails on the general subject). 2. I noticed a lot of implementation specific code having to do with things like (system:getenv $AXIOM) - is the plan to write some generic macros to handle these operations and get all of the implementation specific logic into one file? Not trying to restart the boot vs. lisp wars, just want to know how best to help here. I could start going over the #+gcl type entries in the files and putting together a "rosetta" file for various implementations, if that's of any interest. Also, I would be interested in helping with an asdf file if that is on the program - I've tried with the boot based codebase but didn't even get to first base. The multiple images used in the bootstrapping process (something I gather would be rendered unnecessary by the lisp conversion?) tend to complicate things.
