Kantrowitz & Margolin comp.lang.lisp FAQILISP is a powerful GNU-Emacs interface to many dialects of Lisp, including Lucid, Allegro, {A}KCL, IBCL, and CMU. Written by Chris McConnell <ccm+@cs.cmu.edu> and now maintained by Marco Antoniotti <marcoxa@cs.nyu.edu> and Rick Busdiecker <rfb@lehman.com>.

Related QuestionsFrequently asked questions about XEmacs - 4 Major SubsystemsAUC TeX works fine on both stock Emacs and XEmacs has been doing so for a very very long time. This is mostly due to the work of Per Abrahamsen (clap clap) in particular his 'easymenu' package. Which leads to what is probably the problem... The TeX-lisp-directory in 'tex-site.el' and the makefile don't match. Fix: make sure you configure AUC TeX properly before installing. You have an old version of easymenu.el in your path.Related Questions
How can I learn Lisp?
Lisp FAQThe way to learn any language is to write programs in it. You have two main dialects to choose between: Scheme and Common Lisp. They each have advantages and disadvantages, but the differences between them are tiny compared to the differences between them and other languages, so if you want to start learning Lisp, it doesn't matter which you choose. There are good books about both dialects, and many good free implementations.

GNU Emacs FAQFor more information, the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is available on-line, in Info format. See Emacs Lisp. You can also order a hardcopy of the manual, details on ordering it from FSF are on the GNU Web site.
Related QuestionsWhere can I get Emacs Lisp packages that don't come with Emacs?
GNU Emacs FAQThe Emacs Lisp List (ELL), maintained by Stephen Eglen, aims to provide one compact list with links to all of the current Emacs Lisp files on the Internet. The ELL can be browsed over the web, or from Emacs with the ell package. Many authors post their packages to the Emacs sources newsgroup. You can search the archives of this group with Google, or Gmane, for example. For a long time, the Emacs Lisp Archive provided a central repository for Emacs packages.

Andy Mc's .NET Framework FAQYes. Peter Drayton posted this simple example to the DOTNET mailing list: .assembly MyAssembly {} .class MyApp { .method static void Main() { .entrypoint ldstr "Hello, IL!" call void System.Console::WriteLine(class System.Object) ret } } Just put this into a file called hello.il, and then run ilasm hello.il. An exe assembly will be generated.

Related QuestionsWhat editors besides Emacs have facilities for programming in Lisp?
Common Lisp FAQSee also http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=221 for the closest thing to SLIME for Vim: VILisp. VILisp basically automates the process of cut-and-paste from Vim into Lisp, and adds a few bells and whistles, but that's about it. See also the Gardeners project slim-vim, which has linked Vim with an implementation of Common Lisp called ECL, and is working towards integration with SLIME.
Related QuestionsHow do I find a Emacs Lisp package that does XXX?
GNU Emacs FAQFirst of all, you should check to make sure that the package isn't already available. For example, typing M-x apropos <RET> wordstar <RET> lists all functions and variables containing the string 'wordstar'. It is also possible that the package is on your system, but has not been loaded. To see which packages are available for loading, look through your computer's lisp directory (see File-name conventions).

Related QuestionsIs Scheme a lisp?
Frequently Asked Questions for comp.lang.lispScheme is a member of the greater family of Lisp languages, assuming that is considered to include others like Dylan and Emacs Lisp. The design of Scheme predates the ANSI Common Lisp standard, and some CL features such as lexical scoping may be considered to have been derived from Scheme. More detailed comparative discussions don't generally prove very productive; those that are interested in discussing Scheme should first consider discussing it in comp.lang.
Related QuestionsWhere I can find online resources to learn Lisp?
Common Lisp FAQThe Online Tutorial page at CLiki lists a number of online tutorials, books and articles. (The CLiki is a wiki written in Common Lisp and devoted to providing information related to Free and Open Source software implemented in Common Lisp. The other main Lisp wiki is the wiki run by the Association of Lisp Users which lives at http://wiki.alu.org/.) Other resources that you may find useful as you start Lisping are: Practical Common Lisp.
Related QuestionsWhich should I learn, Common Lisp or Scheme? What's the difference?
Lisp FAQCommon Lisp is powerful but ugly. Scheme is small and clean, but the standard only defines the inner core of the language. If I had to deliver an application I'd probably use Common Lisp; if I were teaching a course I might use Scheme (but with Common Lisp macros).

Related QuestionsHow do I execute (“evaluate”) a piece of Emacs Lisp code?
GNU Emacs FAQIf you want it evaluated every time you run Emacs, put it in a file named .emacs in your home directory. This is known as “your .emacs file,” and contains all of your personal customizations. You can type the form in the *scratch* buffer, and then type <LFD> (or C-j) after it. The result of evaluating the form will be inserted in the buffer. Typing C-x C-e in any buffer evaluates the Lisp form immediately before point and prints its value in the echo area.
