PC-LISP V3.00 (C) February 1st 1990 Peter Ashwood-Smith

|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a PC-LISP source or executable distribution disk. To
|
||
|
|
unpack the disk use the 'arc' utility provided on the disk. You can
|
||
|
|
get arc instructions by typing 'arc'. To get a list of files in the
|
||
|
|
archive 'src.arc' or 'exe.arc' type 'arc l src.arc' or 'arc l exe.arc'
|
||
|
|
To extract all the files in the archive onto your hard disk. Copy
|
||
|
|
the disk contents to a directory on your hard disk then type.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"arc x exe.arc *.*" or "arc x src.arc *.*"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After which you can erase the exe.arc or src.arc file as well as
|
||
|
|
the arc.exe program. You now have a directory that contains either the
|
||
|
|
entire pc-lisp executable distribution or the pc-lisp source distribution.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You will probably then want to copy the files *.L to a direcory
|
||
|
|
of lisp programs, say \liblisp. Then add to your autoexec.bat file the
|
||
|
|
statement: "set LISP_LIB=\liblisp"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Have fun and regards,
|

N.B.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are a number of undocumented functions in 3.00. In
|
||
|
|
particular if you look in Q&A.L you will see the code that self tests
|
||
|
|
them. A short description of the undocumented non Franz functions
|
||
|
|
follows:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(toupper str) -> string str zapped to upper case chars.
|
||
|
|
(tolower str) -> string str zapped to lower case chars.
|
||
|
|
(readln [port] [eof]) -> next line read from [port]/piport as a string
|
||
|
|
or nil/eof on end of file.
|
||
|
|
(strlen str) -> length of the string or atom str as a fixnum.
|
||
|
|
(strcomp str) -> string str without ANY blanks in it at all ie compressed.
|
||
|
|
(strtrim str) -> string str without any trailing blanks.
|
||
|
|
(strpad str n) -> string str padded/truncated to 'n' chars long.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In addition the Franz 'autoload property is now allowed and it is
|
||
|
|
possible to put the property 'autoload on an atom with a property value
|
||
|
|
which is a string naming the file where the function can be found. See
|
||
|
|
LISPcraft for more details.
