Rick,
   I have stored the following files on {MAXC}<1100Users> :

GLISP.LSP     GLISP compiler
GLTEST.LSP    File of examples for GLISP
GEV.LSP       GEV display editor/inspector
GEVDEMO.LSP   Demo file for GEV.

GLISP requires the LAMBDATRAN package.

The user's manual for GLISP can be gotten as:
   {SCORE}<CSD.NOVAK>GLUSER.MSS       Scribe source form
   {UTEXAS}<CS.NOVAK>GLUSER.LPT       Line printer form
You can grab one of those, or I can send you a printed copy or two.
If you will give me your address, I will also send you a copy of the
GEV manual.

GEV is still somewhat under development.  I am furnishing these programs
to Xerox for distribution to users on an "as is" basis.  I will generally
be willing to fix bugs that might be found, but make no guarantees.

GEV and GLISP both need to be compiled for speed.  In order to compile
GEV, the procedure is:
  1. Load GLISP
  2. Load GEV.LSP
  3. TCOMPL(GEV.LSP)
One of the GEV functions will generate lots of GLISP error messages, but
don't let that bother you.  The GEV.DCOM file which results can then be
used by itself.

Larry, I am willing for both of these packages to be distributed on
LISPUSERS.  GEV only works on D-machines; GLISP should work on all
Interlisp systems.  However, I have found that most Interlisp systems
on DEC-20's are not sufficiently up-to-date to accept the file package
commands you put into my file.  Therefore, I recommend you get the
file   {SCORE}<CSD.NOVAK>GLISP.LSP  which has old-style file package
stuff kludged onto the end for distribution to Interlisp users in
general.  GEV doesn't currently do Records (due to my laziness), but
I can put that in if somebody needs it.

Cheers, Gordon

Rick:

If you would care to copy the files Gordon mentioned to  the <LISPUSERS> directory on PARC-MAXC, they will then be available to Interlisp-10 users.

Gordon: I normally send out, without charge, updates to Interlisp-10 to people who write me requesting it. The files are also available over ARPANET. If you run across people who WANT announcements of Interlisp-10 updates and haven't been getting them, please let me know and I will add them to the distribution list.

You can also send mail directly to InterlispSites^.PA@parc-maxc.

If you want to make your system available to Interlisp-VAX users, you can send the offer to INTERLISP@ISIB; they make up distribution tapes and update-tapes for their (non-network) users.

Larry
