I'd like to know where (or if) there's any documentation for it, and how it interfaces with Mach, NeXTStep, resources, system-defined objects etc. Peter M.

It has many of the same features found with Allegro CL on other unix machines (eg, foreign functions, object-oriented programming, multi-processing within lisp). A powerful extension for the NeXT version of Allegro CL is the interface to Objective-C. Not only is one able to pass objects back and forth between lisp and Objective-C, but it is possible to dynamically define and redefine Objective-C classes and methods. In addition, one can dynamically "look up" the methods or instance variables for an Objective-C class within lisp. This is as opposed to having to rummage through static documentation or Objective-C header files. The Objective-C interface opens up NeXTStep to lisp and vice-versa. There are a couple of example lisp source files included in the lisp distribution on 1.0 that show how one can write an application in lisp using a NIB file from the Interface Builder. Regarding on-line documentation, 1.0 includes descriptions with examples for each Allegro CL extension to standard common lisp. In addition, each lisp function that's part of an extension has its own documentation page (in a style similar to UNIX man pages). Charley --- Charles A.
