I've updated Allegro Common Lisp on Athena to release 6.3 for all platforms.
From my message to users:
Allegro Common Lisp 6.2 is now available on Athena for all platforms. Lisp
images with Composer and CLIM are also available.
To run release 6.2 now on Sun, SGI or Linux, type:
add acl
mlisp -ver 6.2 (Lisp only, TTY interface)
mlisp-xemacs -ver 6.2 & (Lisp only, xemacs interface)
mlisp-composer -ver 6.2 & (Lisp with Composer, xemacs interface;
select Composer -> Start Composer to run)
mlisp-clim -ver 6.2 & (Lisp with CLIM, xemacs interface)
To run CLIM demos after starting Lisp with CLIM:
(require :climdemo)
(clim-demo:start-demo)
File /mit/acl_v6.2/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_v6.2/release-notes.pdf
There is extensive online documentation starting from
https://web.mit.edu/acl_v6.2/www/introduction.html. A CLIM manual in
pdf format is in file /mit/acl_v6.2/distrib/share/doc/clim-ug.pdf, and an
introductory tutorial is in
/mit/acl_v6.2/distrib/share/doc/basic-lisp-techniques.pdf.
We expect to make this version the default by the start of the Fall
2002 semester. At that time, you won't need to include the "-ver 6.2"
switch in the commands above.
Please send questions or comments to 3partysw@mit.edu.
