          I'm on the mailing list and read with interest your ref to a who-calls database,
          metering system, compare sources..., all of which would be really useful for
          me.
          Is this available?  (I regularly read the mailing list, but am
          unfamiliar with the contents of the public files in cambridge.apple.com, for exa
          mple).
          
          thanks V. much.

    Yes, I've implemented a common lisp portable "who calls" database
    which runs in MCL. See instructions below for obtaining the code. You
    want the files xref*.lisp and also the documentation
    lisp-utilities.ps.
    
    XRef is similar to both the Symbolics Who Calls and the Xerox
    Masterscope, and can operate in either a dynamic or static analysis
    manner.

    1.4. Obtaining the Utilities
    
    The utilities are available by anonymous ftp from CMU:
    
       - ftp to a.gp.cs.cmu.edu [128.2.242.7] or any other CMU CS machine.
    
       - The directory /afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/mkant/Public/Lisp-Utilities/
	 contains the files.
    
	 [Note: The directory I found the files in was
		a.gp.cs.cmu.edu:/usr/mkant/Public/  -CGay]
    
       - cd to this directory in one fell swoop. Do not try to cd or ls any
	 intermediate directories, since the CMU security mechanisms prevent
	 access to other directories from an anonymous ftp.
    
       - Use ls to see what files are available. For users accessing the
	 directory via an anonymous ftp mail server, the file README contains
	 a current listing and description of the files in the directory. The
	 file UPDATES describes recent updates to the released versions of the
	 software in the directory. The file COPYING describes the general
	 license agreement and lack of warranty.
    
 
I really suggest you look into this; Mark is doing a very good job.  He
also posted some text files that are pointers to other places that might
be of interest.
