CS Dept. Lines: 23 Keywords: Symbolics [E A T M E.............] recently i spent an evening going through mounds & mounds of Symbolics's Zmacs code in an eventually successful attempt to find a way to bind a Zmacs key to a user-written lisp function, bypassing the ZWEI:DEFINE-KEYBOARD-MACRO routine. it occurs to me that such modifications/additions to Symbolics's own code would be much less painful if Symbolics had included documentation on it. Bravo, Symbolics, for handing out your source -- the only problem w/ it is that internal documentation consists of about 3 lines of very general comments for every set of related functions, & no descriptions of data structures. You already have about 10 good manuals for the machine. How about "11: System Software Implementation"? ("Oh, yes, it's another $40000 for the manuals.":-) -- Matthew Belmonte ARPA: BITNET: UUCP: ..!decvax!duke!duknbsr!mkb
