Hello, I've just tried it: ------------------------------- newLISP v.10.5.1 32-bit on Win32 IPv4/6 libffi, options: newlisp -h > (define (D:foo x y) (+ x y)) (lambda (x y) (+ x y)) > (D:foo 3 5) 8 > ------------------------------- However, if D is already defined as something else, it fails. I think...

Hello Lutz,

This section is becoming a bit contaminated with non-news, I reckon. Some moving to do, maybe?

Regards, John

Oops, this post is in the wrong section of the Forum.

newLISP scripts cannot be compiled, only executed. It can be supplied with a script address on the command line, though, which it will load and interpret automatically. Search the forum for advice on running stand-alone scripts.

I have only just realised that the temporary symbols such as the x in: (dolist (x some-list) ... ) are actually persistent and remain to be listed later by (symbols). If this dolist is in a definition, then subsequently deleting 'x results in the definition failing next time it is used. If there was...

Thanks Lutz, much obliged. I knew it was me (so I got that bit right).
A lesson soundly learned.

Regards, John

Me again already. If test.lsp is reduced to: (set 'infile (open (main-args 2) "r")) (close infile) Then I still get the result: ERR: symbol expected : "a_label:" And back into the command line. Seems like newLISP is reading the contents of the file without being asked. :( I know it must be me, it al...

What am I doing wrong here? I saved this very short program as 'test.lsp': (set 'infile (open (main-args 2) "r")) (print (read-line infile) "\n") (close infile) It is in a directory with this very short file called 'test.txt': a_label: If I run this on the Windows console command line: newlisp test....

Yes, only this week, after updating Opera. But I just changed to subSilver style - OK. Changed back to Avalanche - OK too.

So I'll mumble 'emergent behaviour', tyr to look profound and walk slowly away...

Is it me? Quite a lot of messages are very difficult to read. There seems to be no line wrapping, making the page very wide sometimes. Is there some forum setting I should adjust? I am using Opera (9.26) on Win2000sp4, in case that matters.

newLisp: no batteries required

newLisp: quick thinking

Thanks for the attention, Lutz. Everything in the newLISP files was already as you expected. Changing the guiserver.lsp jar invocation line from this: (set 'server-path (string "\"" (env "PROGRAMFILES") "/newlisp/guiserver.jar\"")) to this: (set 'server-path (string "javaw.exe -jar " "\"" (env "PROG...

Well, I spoke too soon :( Got the right javaw.exe, and the GUI runs fine, but trying any demo file fails with Java not finding 'main'. newlisp outputs this: > (lambda (gs:id gs:action) (net-send gs:out (string "frame-closed " gs:id " " gs:action "\n"))) I'll keep poking about, but if it is something...

Thanks for the reply Lutz. The links were already in fact correct, and the laptop used C: anyhow. This worked: F:\WINNT\system32\javaw.exe -jar "F:\Program Files\newlisp\guiserver.jar" 47011 newlisp-edit.lsp /local/newLISP128.png from the icon but not the Run box or dosbox. Turned out that the Windo...

I'm a newcomer to newLISP, but you seem a friendly bunch so I feel brave enough to ask this: I installed newLISP without fiddling with any of the standard instalation. newLISP.exe itself runs just fine, but newLISP-GS, launched from the icon or a command line just gets a complaint from Java that it ...
