SO DEMANDING posted:man everything to do with lisp machines is just so loving weird they probably have some piece of software they rely on that's extremely hard to port to any other environment a port of a complex system that includes UI would probably have to go via a bunch of iterations: ZetaLisp on Genera → ZetaLisp on OpenGenera → Common Lisp on OpenGenera with UI in Dynamic Windows → Common Lisp on OpenGenera with UI in CLIM → Common Lisp on UNIX with UI in CLIM and involve significant manual changes at every stage I hope the CL-HTTP dude who bought the Symbolics IP at probate actually does the work to open source what he can, or even just manages to issue a free "hobbyist license" instead of trying to milk the few people still interested for $3000 per seat all Symbolics' patents are expired at this point, and their trade secrets (compiler technology, interface technology, microarchitecture, etc.) are so outdated as to be worthless, the only non-historical value is in maintenance contracts for those couple DoD sites
