The following message is a courtesy copy of an article that has been posted to comp.lang.lisp as well.

Full list of new features: <http://www.podval.org/~sds/clisp/NEWS> This is a _pre-pretest_. It is known to have bugs, e.g., to avoid random contagion warnings, set CUSTOM:*WARN-ON-FLOATING-POINT-RATIONAL-CONTAGION* and CUSTOM:*WARN-ON-FLOATING-POINT-CONTAGION* to NIL. No portability testing has been done (it is known to build on mingw, cygwin, fc3 linux amd32, RHEL3 amd64 though). At this time we are mostly interested in - bug reports about MOP and large heaps - any patches (especially portability) Thanks! -- -- Sam Steingold (http://www.podval.org/~sds) running w2k <http://www.camera.org> <http://www.iris.org.il> <http://www.memri.org/> <http://www.mideasttruth.com/> <http://www.honestreporting.com> If a train station is a place where a train stops, what's a workstation?(Continue reading)
