newLISP can be compiled as a UNIX shared library or Win32 DLL (dynamic link library). As a result, the shared library versions of newLISP can be used inside other programs that are able to import shared library functions. Other ways to integrate your application with newLISP include I/O pipes and network ports. On Win32 systems, newLISP has been used inside MS Excel, MS Visual Basic, and the NeoBook GUI application builder. On UNIX, newLISP has been used inside the GNumeric spreadsheet. On Mac OS X, newLISP has been used as an extension language for the BBEdit editor by having newLISP communicate with BBEdit via standard I/O pipes. The Tcl/Tk frontend for newLISP is an example of newLISP integration via network ports.
