Hi I am a newbie to Lisp and have been a programmer of C , C++ and assembly for the past 2 years (i am not that old :) ... I have been learning Lisp using the CLISP interpreter on Linux and I came across Movitz. So I thought, why not directly practice on a Lisp kernel. I have some few questions on using the interpreter of Movitz and before I ask them I wanted to know if there is some sort of user's guide to Movitz. So is there a user's guide for movitz? How do I access my hard disk using Movitz ? (I use Bochs to load the kernel ) Although I tried reading the archives of movtiz-devel mailing list , I still could not figure out how to launch an emacs or any other editor on the movitz kernel ? These are a few basic questions I had. I realise that i could spend time figuring it all out one day, but sooner or later, there are gonna be more users who would want to quickly try out Movitz and see how it works, so I guess writing a small/quick User's guide is not a bad idea. I don't mind even writing it for that matter, but I need some help myself :) I browsed through the part of the code of Movitz which handles assembly instructions, and although I could not understand some of the stuff, but it's a brilliant piece of work !! Kudos to all the developers ... Thanks. Rex.
