Re: Porting LISP code from SYMBOLICS - SLUG-89

I find the most efficient way to work on these programs is to develop
the code in GENERA on one of our Symbolics 36**'s and later port to the target
platform. Depending on the complexity of the program and the degree
to which the target language adheres to the Steele spec. (which goes better
and better all the time) the port is a matter of a few hours to a few
days.
We've ported to the following environments:
MACHINE OS LISP
----------- --- -------
VAX and MICROVAX VMS DEC CL
MICROVAX VMS LUCID CL
SUN 4/110 UNIX SUN CL (actually LUCID)
286 and 386 MS-DOS GOLD HILL CL
As you might imagine, many many issues have been dealt with over the
years (speed, cost, portability, user interfaces, remote access, etc.
etc.) I'd be glad to correspond with you further on the specifics.

As part of SLUG-89, we are anxious to have experienced speakers on
this subject. I would very much appreciate a reply from anyone
interested in taking part in a panel on the subject, to be held
from 14 - 16 June at MIT in Cambridge. Thank you. Let me know if
you have any questions on the conference, though you have probably
seen info about it here and will receive a mailing from Symbolics
about it shortly.
