the relation to the big controversy on comp.lang.lisp
The discussion over at news.groups quickly lost me, but I was interested by your (Benjamin/dekuduplex) comment here: [...] I had still been thinking about whether to continue with this RFC because of inconsistencies in statements by the creator of newLISP in admitting whether a bug (now fixed) real...

Re: DekuDekuplex is right
Unfortunately, the two long-timers on this forum fail to appreciate one important factor, that of VISIBILITY and CONNECTEDNESS. [...] Newlisp is vastly underappreciated because it LACKS VISIBILITY. [...] So, whether as a separate newsgroup or as a constant presence in the most populated LISP group ...

I certainly appreciate the reasoning behind it, but I don't think that newlisp is in common enough use to warrant its own usenet group any more than arc does. Certainly both have a small enough audience (at the moment) that they could be discussed in comp.lang.lisp (or perhaps scheme for arc, perha...

question on the reason for the [cmd]/[/cmd] multi-line tags
In the course of discussing a recent bug (which has since been fixed) with the implementation of the multi-line [cmd]/[/cmd] tags in newLISP-GS on comp.lang.lisp, one reader there claimed in my thread potential bug in REPL in newLISP-GS in newLISP v.10.0.1 , that the very existence of these tags con...

promoting newLISP on USENET
newLISP is a fun language with a potential for attracting a wide variety of new enthusiasts, and I feel that it could benefit from wider discussion, including USENET. I have submitted two RFD's (Requests For Discussion) for creating a newLISP-specific newsgroup to new.groups.proposals , and active d...

The problem with [cmd][/cmd] tags in the newLISP-GS Java front-end has been fixed. Download a new guiserver.jar from: http://www.newlisp.org/downloads/development/guiserver.jar and install on Win32 as: $PROGRAMFILES/newlisp/guiserver.jar or install on Mac OS X and other Unix as: /usr/share/newlisp/...

Re: (fwd)potential bug in REPL in newLISP-GS in newLISP v.10
What's Usenet? (ducks :-) I foolishly posted exactly three messages to what I thought was a "safe" and fairly obscure usenet group (LUA programming language), 4 years ago... I still get 150 to 200 spam-scam e-mails a month!!!! That's a relatively low number. I'm an administrator of a mailing list, ...

Re: (fwd)potential bug in REPL in newLISP-GS in newLISP v.10
It seems that the REPL in newLISP-GS is not compatible with the Japanese version of Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 2, because it does not recognize carriage returns properly. Unless this problem is fixed, I wll be forced to copy and paste multiline entries via an editor, which is quite an in...
