? For Andrew: EMACS, SLIME, and icfb?

I understand SLIME, the "Superior Lisp Interaction Mode for EMACS,"
is only advertised to work with these LISP implementations:

* CMU Common Lisp (CMUCL)
* Steel Bank Common Lisp (SBCL)
* OpenMCL
* LispWorks
* Allegro Common Lisp
* CLISP

http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/

But I'm wondering if anyone has found a way to get SLIME to couple with
icfb in non-graphics mode. Any ideas, Mr. Beckett?

Edward

 

It's unlikely. SKILL is a pre-common lisp. SLIME only works with common
lisp.

I've not looked at it in depth, but it seems pretty tied to Common Lisp.
Skill is a pre-common lisp dialect and Skill+ is nearer to scheme than to
CL.

You may want to try (I didn't myself)

(setq inferior-lisp-program "icfb -nodisplay")
in your .emacs and then

M-X run-lisp

Yours,

 

No idea, sorry. If I had a free moment, I'd give it a try. I'm not really an
EMACS person, otherwise I might have come across this and tried it out.
(I tend to use vi in lisp mode for writing SKILL code, as I know vi inside out).

Regards,

Andrew.

 

VCAD had a emacs interaction mode for (graphical) icfb called VIER which
is based on many of the SLIME concepts. It is available as
from VCAD but is not free. Anyone who is interested in seeing
a demo can please contact me () or
.

kind regards
