At the moment only a UNIX version is available; it may not be too hard to port to other systems by merging in the appropriate stuff.c file from the standard 2.1 f distribution, but I have not tired this. The compiler is still at a beta test level. It seems reasonably stable, can compile itself, as well as slightly modified versions of closette and of the xp pretty printer. The compiler design is based on CPS conversion and is similar in basic structure to the ORBIT scheme compiler. This version of XLISP-PLUS is derived from XLISP-STAT 2.1 R3 by deleting the statistical code. I have only used the compiler options relevant to XLISP-STAT; other options may or may not work. There are also some other minor and/or gratuitous differences included to support the statistical code of XLISP-STAT.
