I'm beginning to port a large application from the Symbolics to the X windows environment. Since I have little desire or experience to port the code to CLX directly, I want to investigate packages built on top of CLX (for Lisp, naturally), that support CLOS. Also, because the application may be used commercially, I am shying away from packages that restrict licensing (such as Garnet). Fortunately, the application does not depend on special features of Flavors, so I would expect that I will use pretty standard, simple features of CLOS. My interest in using a package on top of CLX is to make managing windows and controls simpler, eventhough the application has a pretty simple interface for now. I would also like a package that is supported over other architectures, particularly for the Mac (or the Mac running X, if not supported otherwise). The Mac is my next step. I imagine this is not a unique situation. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions from people who have done this, those who have thought about doing this, and even from those who think now about thinking about doing this. Please respond directly by e-mail at kaye@gradient.cis.upenn.edu. Thanks in advance! Jonathan
