When I asked David Betz about posting XLisp to Usenet, he wrote that eventually he wanted to post XScheme, but at the time (about a month ago) XScheme was not finished enough (in his opinion) for posting. (Someone beat me to the XLisp posting, so I haven't pursued the matter further. When David Betz is satisfied XScheme is post-able, I certainly wouldn't mind submitting it to a sources moderator. For now, your best bet is to try BIX.) I've been very impressed with Betz's work, especially since XLisp helped me through an AI course (being able to work on a PC, Mac and Unix workstation with the same program certainly helped). What I'm hoping for now is an XProlog. -Eric -- Eric F.
