Version 2.2 of GCL (GNU Common Lisp) -- Lisp is a symbol manipulation programming language -- is available on all RCS platforms. PCL (Portable Common LOOPS), which provides support for object-oriented programming in Lisp, is also available.
To use "plain" Lisp, enter the following command at a UNIX prompt:
gcl
GCL prompts for input by displaying the ">" character.
To use Lisp with object-oriented extensions, enter the following command at a UNIX prompt:
pcl
PCL uses "PCL>" to prompt for input.
You can get on-line information in either GCL and PCL by entering (help) at the prompt string. Enter (bye) at the prompt to stop the program. (Please note that you must include the parentheses around these commands.)
If you have any questions or problems, please contact the ACS consultants by phoning ext. 7777, or by directing electronic mail to consult@rpi.edu.
