Haah,

There is a new LispUser's package called PORT-CLFILE.  I picked up a
copy when I was in Pasadena recently and it works quite well.  There
are 2 major functions in the module -- one imports an ASCII Common
Lisp file, comments and all, and the other takes a File Manager style
file and writes it as an ASCII file.  I find the export function more
useful because I had already loaded all my Gould CL files and put the
comments back in by copy-selecting between TEdit and SEdit windows (of
course, I would have imported the files if I'd had the function at the
time).  The ability to export FM files as "normal" ASCII files lets
you use the Xerox for development work and then transfer the files to
a non-Xerox production machine.

There was another request recently for a graphics clock for Lyric.
Last month I also picked up a copy of the Lyric version of BICLOCK.
It's been jazzed up a bit and now includes features that combine the
Koto BICLOCK with CROCK.  I especially like the chimes every 15
minutes.

I would suggest that you contact Xerox Support about the general
availability of both of these modules.
