CLX, the Common Lisp X Windows library, communicates with the X server using X sockets. The CLX distribution therefore contains socket code for various Lisp implementations, including (A)KCL. At least if you want your Lisp to connect to some kind of server via a TCP stream, you should be able to use the connection code from CLX almost directly. The latest version of CLX is available via anonymous FTP from expo.lcs.mit.edu as /contrib/CLX.R4.4.tar.Z (1102893 bytes). Ernst> Thanks in advance, You're welcome, Ernst> Ernst -- Simon.
