I would like to know about the capabilities of the above mentioned versions
of OPS5.
Are there any substantial differences between the "expensive" and the "cheap"
version ? I think it is not really the same price-politics as Borland's -
255 $ is not a "Pappenstiel" for a student.
 
By the way: All of you, who helped me with my request for a PC-public domain
OPS5-version - thank you very much*. I have now available a few common-lisp
sources (each about 100KB big) which I will try to convert to a PC-runnable
version in the near future. There will be - I suppose - some difficulties
to adapt the sources to PC-Scheme or XLISP. If anybody had experience with
porting code from CL to XLisp or Scheme, I would like to contact you for
an explanation for some of the more annoying transformations.
 
* I will summarize later!
 


Please - no e-mailing of long files to the above adress (..netmbx..)!
 
For e-mailing of sources etc. please use my BITNET-adress:

Thank you very much,
