I've had enough of those. :-) Say, have you fooled around with any clisp GUI toolkits? jm -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Install /usr/ports/lang/cmucl /usr/ports/lang/cmucl-extra /usr/ports/editors/emacs /usr/ports/editors/slime And you'll get a fast and reliable Common Lisp compiler, some extras like an debugger, an editor, an IDE or suchlike for handy Lisp development using emacs and a compiler of your choice. /usr/ports/lang/cmucl Can be substituted for /usr/ports/lang/sbcl But I like cmucl just fine. You'll fine it has much better support for e.g. CLOS than clisp has. /andreas -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
