I've updated Allegro Common Lisp on Athena to 7.0. From my message to
users:
Allegro Common Lisp 7.0 is now available on Athena. Lisp images with
Composer and CLIM are also available.
To run release 7.0 now type:
add acl
mlisp -ver 7.0 (Lisp only, TTY interface)
mlisp-xemacs -ver 7.0 & (Lisp only, xemacs interface)
mlisp-composer -ver 7.0 & (Lisp with Composer, xemacs interface;
select ACL -> Composer -> Start Composer to run)
mlisp-clim -ver 7.0 & (Lisp with CLIM, xemacs interface)
To run CLIM demos after starting Lisp with CLIM:
(require :climdemo)
(clim-demo:start-demo)
File /mit/acl_v7.0/hello_world.cl shows a way to make a file containing
Lisp source code directly executable.
Release notes are at
https://web.mit.edu/acl_v7.0/distrib/share/doc/release-notes.htm
There is extensive online documentation starting from
https://web.mit.edu/acl_v7.0/www/introduction.html. A CLIM manual in
pdf format is in file /mit/acl_v7.0/distrib/share/doc/clim-ug.pdf, and an
introductory tutorial is in
/mit/acl_v7.0/distrib/share/doc/basic-lisp-techniques.pdf
We expect to make this version the default during IAP 2005.
