Re: CLCS for CLISP

Assuming you are reffering to the condition system contained in the clcs/
subdirectory of the PCL and CLX distribution: I didn't port it because
  a. its implementation of HANDLER-BIND conses too much,
  b. as Joerg Hoehle pointed out, it is not of much use unless CLISP's
     run-time system generates conditions.

CLCS doesn't need much more than DEFSTRUCT. It will certainly work with
CLISP's CLOS.

To avoid redundant work, I suggest you wait until the condition system
David Gadbois <gadbois@cs.utexas.edu> has written for CLISP has been
integrated.
