Miscellaneous:
ftp.csrl.aoyama.ac.jp:
YY/ YY window toolkit sources
Lisp/ several common lisp sources, including MIT's FRL.
RRL (Rewrite Rule Laboratory) -- herky.cs.uiowa.edu:public/rrl
[128.255.28.100]
PLisp - A Common Lisp front end to Postscript. This translates many
Common Lisp functions to postscript as well as manage the environment
and many lispisms (&optional and &rest arguments, multiple values,
macros, ...). Available via anonymous ftp in pub/plisp/plisp.tar.Z on
nebula.cs.yale.edu (128.36.13.1). Written by John Peterson,
peterson-john@cs.yale.edu.
RegExp is an extension to Allegro Common Lisp which adds
regular expression string matching, using the foreign
function interface. Available by anonymous ftp from
ai.sri.com:/pub/pkarp/regexp/. Contact pkarp@ai.sri.com
for more information.

[6-4] Publicly Redistributable Scheme Software
SLIB is a portable scheme library that provides compatibility and
utility functions for many of the standard scheme implementations,
including ELK 1.5, GAMBIT, MITScheme, scheme->C, Scheme48, T3.1 and Scm4a.
It is available by anonymous ftp from
altdorf.ai.mit.edu:archive/scm/slib1c2.tar.Z
nexus.yorku.ca:pub/scheme/new/slib1c2.tar.Z
TEST.SCM is an IEEE and R4RS conformance test suite. It is available
from altdorf.ai.mit.edu:archive/scm/test.scm
and nexus.yorku.ca:pub/scheme/new/test.scm
PSD (Portable Scheme Debugger) is available by anonymous ftp
from Tampere University of Technology, Finland,
cs.tut.fi:/pub/src/languages/schemes/psd.tar.Z
With PSD, you can run a Scheme program in an Emacs buffer, set
breakpoints, single step evaluation and access and modify the
program's variables. It works by instrumenting the original source
code, so it should run with any R4RS compliant Scheme. It has been
tested with SCM and Elk 1.5, but should work with other Schemes with a
minimal amount of porting, if at all. Includes documentation and
user's manual. Written by Pertti Kellom\"aki, pk@cs.tut.fi
A bibliography of work in functional programming can be obtained by
anonymous ftp from tamdhu.dcs.st-andrews.ac.uk:/pub/staple/pubs.txt
(138.251.192.40). It uses a refer-like format with %T for title, %A
for authors %I for a unique index entry %S for source (possibly a
reference to another index) %K for keywords and %C for comments.
Compiled by Tony Davie, <ajtd@honey.st-and.ac.uk>.
Scheme Utilities -- brokaw.lcs.mit.edu:/pub/scmutils.tar 18.30.0.33
[This collection seems to no longer be located on brokaw -- does
anybody know the current location?]
A collection of Scheme implementations of data structures and
algorithms is available by anonymous ftp from cs.tut.fi in the
directory /pub/src/languages/schemes/as the file scheme-algorithms.tar.
For more information, contact Pertti Kellom\"aki <pk@cs.tut.fi>.

[6-5] How can I use the X Window System or other GUIs from Lisp?
There are several GUI's and Lisp interfaces to the X Window System. Mailing
lists for these systems are listed in the answer to question [4-7].
Various vendors also offer their own interface-building packages.
CLX provides basic Common Lisp/X functionality. It is a de facto standard
low-level interface to X, providing equivalent functionality to XLib, but
in Lisp. It is also a good source for comparing the foreign function calls
in various Lisps. Does *not* depend on CLOS. Available free as part of the
X release in the contrib directory. Also available form
export.lcs.mit.edu:/contrib as the files CLX.Manual.tar.Z and
CLX.R5.02.tar.Z. Primary Interface Author: Robert W. Scheifler
<rws@zermatt.lcs.mit.edu> Send bug reports to bug-clx@expo.lcs.mit.edu.
CLIM (Common Lisp Interface Manager) is a GUI originally developed by
Symbolics and International Lisp Associates, and now under joint
development by several Lisp vendors, including Symbolics, Apple, Franz,
Harlequin and Lucid. It is intended to be a portable analogue of Symbolics
UIMS (Dynamic Windows, Presentations Types). It runs on Symbolics Lisp
Machines; Allegro and Lucid on several Unix platforms; Symbolics CLOE on
386/486 IBM PCs running Windows; and MCL on Apple Macintoshes. It is *not*
free, and with the exception of Macintoshes, if it is available it
can be purchased from the vendor of the Lisp system you are using.
For the Macintosh version write to the ILA:
International Lisp Associates, 114 Mt. Auburn St.,
Cambridge, MA 02138, 617-576-1151
Contact: Dennis Doughty - Doughty@ILA.com
International Lisp Associates, 898 Windmill Park Road,
Mountain View, CA 94043, 1-800-477-CLIM
Contact: Bill York - York@ILA.com
The CLIM 2.0 SPECIFICATION is available by anonymous ftp from
ftp.uunet.net:vendor/franz/clim.ps.Z.
CLUE (Common Lisp User-Interface Environment) is from TI, and extends CLX
to provide a simple, object-oriented toolkit (like Xt) library that uses
CLOS. Provides basic window classes, some stream I/O facilities, and a few
other utilities. Still pretty low level (it's a toolkit, not widget
library). Available free by anonymous ftp from csc.ti.com:pub/clue.tar.Z
Written by Kerry Kimbrough. Send bug reports to clue-bugs@dsg.csc.ti.com.
CLIO (Common Lisp Interactive Objects) is a GUI from the people who created
CLUE. It provides a set of CLOS classes that represent the standard
components of an object-oriented user interface -- such as text, menus,
buttons, scroller, and dialogs. It is included as part of the CLUE
distribution, along with some packages that use it, both sample and real.
Allegro Common Windows provides a front end to CLX. Uses CLOS.
It is *not* free. Contact info@franz.com for more information.
The LispWorks Toolkit is an extensible CLOS-based widget set that uses
CLX and CLUE. The LispWorks programming environment has been written
using the toolkit and includes: an Emacs-like editor, listener,
debugger, profiler, and operating system shell; browsers/graphers for
classes, generic functions, processes, windows, files, compilation
errors, source code systems, and setting LispWorks parameters; and an
interactive interface builder and complete online hypertext
documentation. Contact: lispworks-request@harlqn.co.uk
CLM (Common Lisp Motif) and GINA (Generic Interactive Application) and IB
(Interface Builder). CLM runs Motif widgets in a separate C process, with
minimal work on the Lisp side and communicates between C and Lisp using TCP
sockets. Runs in Allegro CL, Sun CL, and Symbolics Genera. GINA uses CLOS.
Available free in the X contrib directory or by anonymous ftp from either
export.lcs.mit.edu:/contrib or ftp.gmd.de:/gmd/gina [129.26.8.90] as the
files CLM+GINA.README, CLM2.2.tar.Z and GINA2.2.tar.Z. CLM was written by
Andreas Baecker <baecker@gmdzi.gmd.de>, GINA by Mike Spenke
<spenke@gmdzi.gmd.de>, and IB by Thomas Berlage <berlage@gmdzi.gmd.de>.
Contact Mike Spenke for more info. To be added to the mailing list, send
a message to gina-users-request@gmdzi.gmd.de.
EW (Express Windows) is intended to mimic Symbolics' Dynamic Windows user
and programmer interfaces. It is available free in the ew/ subdirectory of
the Lisp Utilities repository. It is no longer under active development.
Runs on Sun/Lucid, Franz Allegro, and Symbolics. Should port easily to
other Lisps with CLX.
Written by Andrew L. Ressler <aressler@oiscola.columbia.ncr.com>.
Garnet is a large and flexible GUI. Lots of high-level features. Does
*not* depend on CLOS, but does depend on CLX. Garnet (version 2.0 and
after) is now in the public domain, and has no licensing restrictions,
so it is available to all foreign sites and for commercial uses.
Detailed instructions for obtaining it by anonymous ftp are available
by anonymous ftp from a.gp.cs.cmu.edu [128.2.242.7] as the file
/usr/garnet/garnet/README. Garnet includes the Lapidiary interactive
design tool, C32 constraint editor, spreadsheet object, Gilt
Interface Builder, automatic display management, two
widget sets (Motif look-and-feel and Garnet look-and-feel), support for
gesture recognition, and automatic constraint maintenance, application
data layout and PostScript generation. Runs in virtually any Common
Lisp environment, including Allegro, Lucid, CMU, and Harlequin Common
Lisps on Sun, DEC, HP, Apollo, IBM 6000, and many other machines.
Garnet helps implement highly-interactive, graphical, direct
manipulation programs for X/11 in Common Lisp. Typical applications
include: drawing programs similar to Macintosh MacDraw, user interfaces
for expert systems and other AI applications, box and arrow diagram
editors, graphical programming languages, game user interfaces,
simulation and process monitoring programs, user interface construction
tools, CAD/CAM programs, etc. Contact Brad Myers (bam@a.gp.cs.cmu.edu)
for more information. Bug reports and administrative questions:
garnet@cs.cmu.edu. Garnet is discussed on the newsgroup comp.windows.garnet.
LispView is a GUI written at Sun that does not use CLX. Instead it
converts Xlib.h directly into Lucid foreign function calls. It is intended
to be fast and tight. Uses CLOS. Available for anonymous ftp from
export.lcs.mit.edu:contrib/lispview1.1 and
xview.ucdavis.edu:pub/XView/LispView1.1
Includes a general-purpose 2D grapher library.
Written by Hans Muller (hmuller@sun.com). Runs in Sun CL and Lucid CL.
Direct questions about the source provision to lispview@Eng.Sun.Com.
WINTERP (Widget INTERPreter) was developed at HP and uses the Xtoolkit and
Motif widget set. It is based on David Betz's XLISP interpreter, which is a
small subset of Common Lisp that runs on IBM PCs. Runs on DecStation 3100,
HP9000s, Sun3, Sparcs. It is a free-standing Lisp-based tool for setting
up window applications. Available free in X contrib directory, or by
anonymous ftp from export.lcs.mit.edu:contrib/winterp-???.tar.Z where ???
is the version number. If you do not have Internet access you may request
the source code to be mailed to you by sending a message to
winterp-source%hplnpm@hplabs.hp.com or hplabs!hplnpm!winterp-source.
Contact Niels Mayer mayer@hplabs.hp.com for more information.
ftp.csrl.aoyama.ac.jp:YY/ YY window toolkit sources
YYonX is a port of the YY system to X windows. Runs in Lucid CL, Allegro
CL, and Symbolics Genera. Supports kanjii. Developed at Aoyama Gakuin
University. Available free by anonymous ftp from ftp.csrl.aoyama.ac.jp:YY/
Written by Masayuki Ida <ida@cc.aoyama.ac.jp>
Picasso is a CLOS based GUI, and is available from
postgres.berkeley.edu:/pub/Picasso-2.0 It runs on DecStation 3100s, Sun3
(SunOs), Sun4 (Sparc), and Sequent Symmetry in Allegro CL. The file
pub/xcl.tar.Z contains X-Common Lisp interface routines. Send mail to
picasso@postgres.berkeley.edu for more information.
XIT (X User Interface Toolkit) is an object-oriented user interface
toolkit for the X Window System based on Common Lisp, CLOS, CLX, and
CLUE. It has been developed by the Research Group DRUID at the
Department of Computer Science of the University of Stuttgart as a
framework for Common Lisp/CLOS applications with graphical user
interfaces for the X Window System. The work is based on the USIT
system developed by the Research Group INFORM at the University of
Stuttgart. Although the system kernel is quite stable, XIT is still
under active development. XIT can be obtained free by anonymous ftp
from ifi.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de (129.69.211.1) in the directory
/pub/xit/.
----------------------------------------------------------------
[6-6] Formatting code in LaTeX
SLaTeX is a R4RS-compliant Scheme program that allows you to write
program code "as is" in your LaTeX or TeX source. It is particularly
geared to the programming languages Scheme and Common Lisp, and has
been tested in Chez Scheme, Common Lisp, MIT C Scheme, Elk, Scheme->C,
SCM and UMB Scheme on Unix; and MIT C Scheme and SCM on MSDOS. The
formatting of the code includes assigning appropriate fonts to the
various tokens in the code (keywords, variables, constants, data), at
the same time retaining the proper indentation when going to the
non-monospace (non-typewriter) provided by TeX. SLaTeX comes with two
databases that recognize the standard keywords/variables/constants of
Scheme and Common Lisp respectively. These can be modified by the
user using easy TeX commands. In addition, the user can inform SLaTeX
to typeset arbitrary identifiers as specially suited TeX expressions
(i.e., beyond just fonting them). The code-typesetting program SLaTeX
is available by anonymous ftp from cs.rice.edu as the file
public/slatex.tar.Z. Send bug reports to dorai@cs.rice.edu.

Intro
-----
This is a list of mailing lists available primarily through the
Internet and the UUCP network. A mailing list is different from a
newsgroup because you do not receive anything unless you specifically
request it. To be added to a mailing list, please mail a note to the
contact for that list, listed below.
The list does not include any of the many hundreds of lists that are
available through various Bitnet ListServ sites.
Some of the lists mentioned may be available as limited-distribution
newsgroups. Contact the administrator for exact details.
Please note the following caveats: publication of a list here does not
guarantee that you will be allowed to join as a member. That is up to
the moderator and readers, and they have the right to restrict access
to their list as they see fit. Mailing lists use MUCH less system
overhead on a world-wide basis but do tend to increase loading on the
moderators' machines so the number of people that can be added to a list
may be limited by machine resources as well.
In your request to join a list, please include a signature or some
other copy of your mailing address. DO NOT RELY on your "From:" mail
header arriving unmangled or even vaguely representing what you think
your preferred address is.
If you have a list that you want added to this posting, send a request
to arielle@taronga.com.
