Allegro Common Lisp 6.0 is now available on Athena and a Linux version
has been added. Lisp images with Composer and CLIM are also available.
To run release 6.0 now on Sun, SGI or Linux, type:
add acl
mlisp -ver 6.0 (Lisp only, TTY interface)
mlisp-xemacs -ver 6.0 & (Lisp only, xemacs interface)
mlisp-composer -ver 6.0 & (Lisp with Composer, xemacs interface;
select Composer -> Start Composer to run)
mlisp-clim -ver 6.0 & (Lisp with CLIM, xemacs interface)
To run CLIM demos after starting Lisp with CLIM:
(require :climdemo)
(clim-demo:start-demo)
File /mit/acl_v6.0/hello_world.cl shows a way to make a file containing
Lisp source code directly executable (this won't work on Linux).
Release notes are at http://web.mit.edu/acl_v6.0/www/release-notes.htm
There is extensive online documentation starting from
http://web.mit.edu/acl_v6.0/www/introduction.htm. A CLIM manual in
pdf format is in file /mit/acl_v6.0/www/clim-ug.pdf, and an introductory
tutorial is in /mit/acl_v6.0/www/basic-lisp-techniques.pdf.
We expect to make this version the default during IAP. At that time, you
won't need to include the "-ver 6.0" switch in the commands above.
