anonymous contexts

Hello, I'm still trying to learn. I want to use contexts as a sort of object but somehow want to create anonymous contexts. For instance in Delphi I have a class with a few attributes and a number of methods. I can recreate this in newLisp using contexts but in Delphi it is quite easy to create hund...

Hello, I'm just learning newLisp (very impressed so far) and I'm new to lisp style languages. I want to read in a binary file but deal with it both on Windows and OS X and of course there is an endian issue. I'm reading it in something like: (read-buffer dat 'example 2) (first(unpack "f" example)) o...
