The XLISP family: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 23:06, 22 March 2016

XLISP is a family of multi-platform LISP implementations originally written by David Betz but later forked by Tom Almy who had previously also ported the application to OS/2 and DOS and later renamed his version XLISP-PLUS and added a Microsoft Windows version. is a derivative of Xlisp 2.0 that continues to add Common Lisp features. Winterp is a derivative of XLISP-PLUS.

The core runtime is written in C while the rest is implemented in XLISP itself.

After 16 years of inactivity, Mr Almy suddenly kicked into life in early 2016 and created a new 3.05 version of XLISP-PLUS however the libraries will function with the 3.04 OS/2 version, and he has also created a new Windows version that will work under OS/2.
