Thanks both - very helpful.

I discovered - quite by accident - that I could use the modules I needed, even without compiling in FFI: just as Lutz points out.

I'll experiment further when time allows, and report back here.

I wonder if anyone has succeeded in running NewLisp under Puppy Linux, preferably 5.2.8? If so, is there an SFS available? UPDATE: Well, I got the source, and was able to compile it, but had to remove FFI from the compile and link lines in the makefile, to avoid errors. Seems to be working reasonabl...

Thanks both - I thought I was going mad!

I understand how the debugger handled things - and am/was ready to own up to the original error on my part.

I more often use 'local', so I guess I have left bits of the wrong syntax in the 'let' expression.

Thanks for the help.

I chopped out some more - just hope this does not upset the board (or you guys reading it). In a file ODD.PL (define-macro (iparse _sent) (setq parses nul) (setq stack nul) (setq jumpflag nil) (setq sentence _sent) (setq state 's) (setq star (first sentence)) (atn state sentence) (and parses true ) ...

Well, I would dearly like to, as this has me thoroughly confused.

But I cannot get the program down below 160 lines - which is probably too much to send up to the board?

Hi I'm not sure how or where to ask this, so here goes. I'm running 10.3.0 0n Windows XP. I've converted a program (600 lines) from Common Lisp, and now I have a very odd problem. The program is a network interpreter, and runs recursively: it works correctly BUT only if I debug through the entire pr...

That seems to work - thank you for finding it.

I think I will go along with the majority opinion, and stick to the terminal view. I expect I shall end up using TextPad as my
editor, since I'm used to it, and I can modify the syntax files to suit newLisp.

Well, that would be useful, but it doesn't seem to work that way for me. This is what happens to me (begin (setq z (read-line))(println "parse z= " (parse z))) hey this is great parse z= ("(" "begin" "(" "setq" "z" "(" "read-line" ")" ")" "(" "println" "parse z= " "(" "parse" "z" ")" ")" ")") ("(" "...

Thanks - I think I understand now what is going on.

Since my interest in newLisp is for natural language interaction, I guess I will work in a terminal until or unless I have a simple graphical interface for the user.

New to Lisp, and newLisp

Why does produce expected result in command line version,
but return
( "(" "setq" "res" "(" "parse" "(" "read-line" ")" ")" ")" )

if entered in newLisp-gs?? that is, in the IDE.

I'm using v10.1.7 on WinXP
