You can buy PCL (Portable Common Loops from Xerox--most of CLOS) from APDA. Don't know about the condition system. > Does ACL support logical pathnames?

Don't know about the last--you can deal with windows in ACL in two ways. The normal way is to use the built-in window handling code, which is based on Object Lisp (*not* CLOS), and works fairly well. However, you also have complete "raw" toolbox access, so it shouldn't be too bad to port Common Windows or CLIM to ACL. -- Amanda Walker InterCon Systems Corporation -- amanda@intercon.uu.net | ...!uunet!intercon!amanda
