Hi all,

Need one of the guru's to explain -- 

http://ufasoft.com/lisp/

" Ufasoft Common Lisp keeps most of CLISP's .lisp files unmodified, but reimplements the core on C++. "   what does this mean exactly ???

t.i. advance Rob

Hi Rob,

If .lisp files are actually user programs, then I'm inclined to think it means that Ufasoft have simply re-implemented the CLISP engine (i.e. the binary that runs these ordinary user programs) in C++ rather than C which the original CLISP binary was written in.

No changes are needed for the .lisp user files to run in both the standard CLISP environment written in C and this new CLISP implementation re-written in C++.

Thanks Aurel , Mike ...

Yes, it's a Russian "fork" --  ( also BeeLisp is Russian - commercial )  , not much documentation however.

best Rob
