In other words, the communication between Lisp and Objective-C is largely transparent. What's more, one can dynamically create new classes, and instances as well as add new methods to classes and/or look up the existing class methods and class instance variables on the Lisp side. There are a couple of examples with NeXT's 1.0 distribution in /usr/cl/examples/objc/. These show how one can use Lisp to write simple applications using the Lisp/Objective-C interface. The documentation for the Objective-C/Allegro CL interface is online and should be available in the Digital Librarian. Franz Inc. also has an gnuemacs interface to the online documentation which we plan to submit to the appropriate NeXT on-line archive. When it makes it there, I suspect someone will post a note to the net announcing how you can get it. Charley -- --- Charles A.
