2.17 Lisp Library

 

The CMU Common Lisp project maintains a collection of useful or interesting programs written by users of our system. The library is in `lib/contrib/'. Two files there that users should read are:

CATALOG.TXT
This file contains a page for each entry in the library. It contains information such as the author, portability or dependency issues, how to load the entry, etc.

READ-ME.TXT
This file describes the library's organization and all the possible pieces of information an entry's catalog description could contain.

Hemlock has a command Library Entry that displays a list of the current library entries in an editor buffer. There are mode specific commands that display catalog descriptions and load entries. This is a simple and convenient way to browse the library.
