Lutz
development newLISP version 9.1.9
I spent an enjoyable half hour or so, with the demos from this release. The default binary installed without any problems on my XP machine (more on this in a second). What you have done to civilize the Java GUI is phenomenal, Lutz!
The image-demo/textrot-demo.lsp code to set up a window, then rotate and scale the contents must be some of the cleanest code in the universe. Really! How could these instructions be stated more elegantly?
Small things to fix:
In the clipboard demo, the 'Quit and loose unsaved content' dialog should say "lose" instead.
html-demo.lsp expects the html-demo.lsp text file in the same directory as the run.exe. It's in the /guiserver directory in this release.
While the installer is fine for default installs to C:/Program Files, it failed when I tried an install to my S:/programs directory. I recall the installer flashing several lines of 'C:/Program Files'. Bad installer! Bad!

Until now all is working well :-) ( win2k )
The installation was without problems , i can start the newLISP-gui now from the desktop-icon .
The demos out of the help-folder are running , i have several tabs open , i can start every tab , run , stop and reset . I was programming ( and testing macros ) some hours without problems .

newlisp-edit / newlisp-gui error ?
after i first made an error - i initiated the frame with zeroes - i had to break it with the task-manager (win) . After that i restarted newlisp-edit , and now after loading a program that is sure ok , everytime a hint appears "the running process must be finished first" . No starts out of newlisp-edit are possible, doesn't matter what program.
Is it possible, that the editor has stored a kind of "is running" flag , that isn't cleared after the forced break ?

I am using some older version of Process Explorer. You can get the new one here:

It is much easier to see, what is running and it is much faster in killing processes. I use it anytime the newlisp process gets "stuck".

Thanks Fanda !
The process-explorer is working fine - good to see what happens on my pc , and there are a lot of options what you can display ( the option working-set is equal to the task-managers 'memory-usage' ) .
Interesting for newLISP-gui is , the initial used workspace for java is some 10MBytes (23MB?) , but then after a short time it's reduced to 2MB .
newLISP uses about 3.5MB .
For a new process startet out of newLISP-edit 2MB+3.5MB are used - not much :-)
