This post describes four portable utilities for Common Lisp which are
available by anonymous ftp from a.gp.cs.cmu.edu in the directory
/usr/mkant/Public. 

All have been placed in the public domain and are distributed without
warranty of any kind.

defsystem.lisp		A portable system definition facility, similar
			to the Symbolics system construction tool.
			Documentation is in defsystem.ps.

logical-pathnames.lisp	A portable implementation of the X3J13 June
			1989 specification for logical pathnames, as
			documented in Guy Steele CLtL2, section 23.1.5.

metering.lisp		A portable code profiling tool, for gathering
			timing and consing statistics while a program
			is running. This is a combination of the Monitor
			package written by Chris McConnell and the
			Profile package written by Skef Wholey and
			Rob MacLachlan, with a few extensions.
			Documentation is in the first few pages.

xref.lisp		A portable cross referencing tool for determining
			callers of functions and variables, and for 
			maping out the structure of a program. Similar
			to Symbolics Who-Calls and Xerox Masterscope.
			Includes an interface to Joe Bates' Postscript
			graphing tool (psgraph.lisp).


Please send bug reports, comments, and suggestions to mkant@cs.cmu.edu.
