Using Processes in CLIM

    From: will taylor <taylor@charon.arc.nasa.gov>

    In  Symbolics early release 1.0 CLIM the following functions/macros
    are in the clim-utils package:

    make-process
    processp 
    destroy-process 
    current-process 
    all-processes
    show-processes 
    process-yield 
    process-wait 
    process-wait-with-timeout

    They are not exported/documented.  Will they be exported/documented
    for the released version of 1.0 CLIM?  If not, how will CLIM handle
    processes in a portable way?

    ==> Will

Multiple processes have nothing to do with user interface and are not
treated by CLIM.

I believe that Common Lisp does not consider processes in any way.  I
guess it was felt that processes are, to a large extent, a system
facility which is not sufficiently standardized across all platforms.
Any features concerning processes were therefore left as vendor
extensions.
