6 After a few false starts, I (Tony Rossini) finally know how I want to
7 proceed. First, we update CLS. Then, continue with TSL. Separation
8 is needed, so that we can make everything separate.
10 We are working with SBCL and CLISP implementations to keep a wide
11 range of target platforms.

58 This is Lisp-Stat 1.0 Alpha 1, a first attempt at producing a Common
59 Lisp version of Lisp-Stat. This version contains NO graphics, but
60 should implement all the non-graphical facilities of Lisp-Stat.
62 The implementation uses C code from XLISP-STAT for linear algebra and
63 probability distributions, so this code is dependent an a CL's foreign
64 function interface. At this time, three CL's are supported: AKCL (at
65 least verision 1-600) for UNIX systems, Franz' Allegro CL for UNIX
66 systems, and Macintosh CL (version 2.0b1). Separate README files
69 On A DEC 3100 or 5000 the AKCL version of Lisp-Stat runs about half as
70 fast as xlispstat on a standard battery of tests if xlispstat is given
71 an (expand 30) command. I seem to recall that on a sun3 this the AKCL
72 code and xlispstat code run at about the same speed. I have not yet
73 confirmed this. If so, then the relative performance of the AKCL
74 version to xlispstat may be quite hardware-dependent. The Allegro
75 version on a DEC 5000 is considerably slower and larger than the AKCL
76 version, but I have not yet figured out how to tune Allegro's memory
77 management. The Macintosh CL version seems to run at least as fast as
78 xlispstat on the Macintosh.
80 To port this code to another CL, you need to
82 Edit defsys.lsp to add any necessary definitions
84 Add a top level to lstoplevel.lsp (this is only needed if you
85 want to recover the history mechanism, which is broken by
88 Write versions of the lisp and/or C glue files to interface to
91 Experiment with tuning the memory management to run reasonably
92 in statistical applications.
94 If you do port this code to another CL, please let me know so I can
95 add it to this distribution.
