Using series? / other cl related tools available

[miller@cs.rochester.edu]

If you are using Dick Waters series & generator package (as described in
CLtL/2) and would like fi:clman manual pages, ftp to
cs.rochester.edu:/pub/knowlege-tools/

and get file cl-lib-3-41.tar.Z

Uncompress and untar the file (will go into a directory cl-lib).
cl-lib/series/series is a manual page directory you can merge with
clman by simply linking that directory into your fi/manual directory
that your clman knows about (installation option; consult with who
installed your emacs and or fi subsystem).

My "see also" entries aren't as complete as they might be, but I still
think this will be useful if you are using this package. (note that this
directory contains the distributed package, with minor changes for
compatibility, in source and compiled form).

****

Of course, there may be other parts of cl-lib you will find of interest.
:cl-lib is a compilable loadable sysetem (once you load
cl-lib/defsystem), and is compatilbe with allegro 4.1 and 4.2b

In particular, cl-lib has files that:

extend allegro's defsystem with edit-system and provide example-modules
(loadable but not compilable files); See allegro-stuff.lisp;
more-allegro.lisp

A large variety of library functions (see cl-extensions.lisp;
more-extensions.lisp)

An initializations package similar to what was available on MIT lisp
machine descendants.

Some additional compatibility functions wrt processes between allegro
and symbolics (see process.lisp)

re to dfa converter (re-to-dfa.lisp)

A version of lisp-machine resources (puts you in control of memeory
management). See resources.lisp

If you have any problems with these tools, I'd like to hear about it. In
addition there are a variety of pd/freeware tools available in this
directory the I **don't** maintain, but those files should point to the
owner (or I can).

Note that we use .fasl2 to designate binaries for 4-2b vs. fasl for 4-1
binaries.
