Better, a CL editor extending a general purpose base editor implemented in CLOS. That way, application developers can use the base to build other editors than for LISP. I've used Fred functionality as a foundation to build other editors used in my applications, specifically for text editing and XML editing. Doing this with Fred was possible but kind of a drag, because you'd have to disable LISP functionality rather than just extend base editor classes. I know, this goes beyond building an IDE to provide reusable functionality for applications, so it might be beyond the scope of the project, but may still be good practice. _______________________________________________ info-mcl mailing list [email protected] http://clozure.com/mailman/listinfo/info-mcl
