I am interested in finding out what it takes to get foreign functions into
Franz Lisp and what restrictions might apply.  In particular, I would like to
be able to bring in C functions.  The Franz manual is pretty much useless in
this area.  I am running Franz Opus 38.92 on a Sun under Sun Unix version 3.2.

I understand that someone has taken the time to actually work through this and
has published a paper outlining the steps.  Either a summary or pointer to the
paper would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
