How is ISLISP related to ILISP?
A–> It’s not really related, other than vaguely because they are both Lisp facilities. ILISP is an interface between Lisp and GNU-Emacs. Depending on which version of Emacs you have, you can probably run Lisp inferior to Emacs by setting Emacs’s inferior-lisp-program variable to the appropriate bin file. For an example, see the information pages about Eligis OpenLisp, including a sample Emacs init file. You might also need to do additional environmental setup related to the dialect of Lisp; for example, OpenLisp probably wants you to do: (setenv “OPENLISP” “youropenlispdir”) Also, a Macintosh user of OpenLisp under Emacs warns us: “You also need the following line in your .emacs (at least on Mac OS X): (setq process-connection-type t) It says to use ptys rather than pipes for subprocesses. Not having this line breaks a surprising amount of stuff. I think it should really be the default, but it’s not.” If you’ve got additional information that belongs here, send mail to the HyperMeta.c
