Part of the problem is that there are several implementations
of Lisp that use the name "CLISP". The one I am interested in
now is (to quote from
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/Web/Groups/AI/html/faqs/lang/lisp/part4/faq-doc-1.html
)
"CMU Common Lisp (CMU CL) is free, and runs on HPs, Sparcs (Mach,
SunOs, and Solaris), DecStation 3100 (Mach), SGI MIPS (Iris), DEC
Alpha/OSF1, IBM RT (Mach) and requires 16mb RAM, 25mb disk. It
includes an incremental compiler, Hemlock emacs-style editor,
source-code level debugger, code profiler and is mostly X3J13
compatible, including the new loop macro. It is available by
anonymous ftp from
ftp.cs.cmu.edu:/afs/cs.cmu.edu/project/clisp/release [128.2.206.173]"
As I understand it, this project is now inactive but the code
is pretty popular in Lisp circles. The code also is public domain
with no copyrights attached.
Don't know how hard it would be to port this to FreeBSD.
Has anyone tried it?
Paul
