      Thanks to everyone who sent me mail about Lucid Lisp.  I checked the
source directories and found a file:  flavors.sbin  Now, all I need to do is
to find some documentation that explains how these flavors work.  Unfortunately,
we are in a software consortium that gives us whatever software we want, but
no manuals.
      For the other problem, about Lisp not working, I checked some more and
found out that our people were having some problems installing Lisp into the
new operating system.  But once installed, I think it works fine.
      Now, for my next request.  I was wondering if there is somewhere from
where I can ftp documentation about CLOS and possible some CLOS source code.
If I'm going to have to port Explorer flavors to Lucid flavors, I would rather
avoid this and port everything directly to CLOS.  I would also like to 
interface this with Lucid CLOS, but it looks like it's going to be a long time
before we get version 4.0 of Lucid Lisp.  (As an aside, does anyone know how
we could become a test site for Lucid?)
      Thanks,

         Erik Eilerts        (eilerts@cs.utexas.edu)
