- New version number 2.1d, and name changed to XLISP-PLUS to aid in
- differentiation.
-
- Many compilation options have been removed to provide more consistant
- code. There have been bug fixes in the xlobj (problems with 32 bit
- compilers, and special variable binding), gccstuff, and unixstuf
- (SYS V support) files. A bug causing (type-of 'x) to return CONS has
- been fixed
-
- Documentation is overhauled, and is somewhat simpler because of the fewer
- compilation variations.
-
- New features are rational numbers and readtable-case.
-
- Added Amiga support.

-
- No change to the version number -- this is a maintenance upgrade.
-
- Three additional bugs have been identified and fixed. The first corrects
- a problem in typep that caused the type NUMBER to never match. The
- second implements *dos-input* for the 80386 XLISP, and corrects a minor
- problem with dribble in that version.

-
- No change to the version number -- this is a maintenance upgrade.
-
- There have been two bug fixes made to this version. The first corrects
- problems with save/restore and binary files when the 80386 XLISP is used
- and the second corrects problems with string streams during garbage
- collections that print messages.
-
- In addition a new version of go32, DJ Delorie's DOS extender, is being used.
- This one is VCPI compatible as well as XMS compatible (still not DPMI).
- It is also possible to use it without an 80387 using his new 80387 emulator.
-
- Put the file emu387 in the directory with your binaries (lets say "c:\bin")
- and then set the environment variable: "set go32=emu c:/bin/emu387" -- note
- the forward slashes. XLISP will now use the 80387 emulator, even if an 80387
- is present.

-
- This archive contains a copy of the source file dldmem.c with a bug fixed.
-
- The version number has been revised to 2.1c. Please change file xlisp.c to
- match.
-
- Also included are new executable files. Please delete any existing
- 80386 XLISP executables because of distribution licensing problems and
- use this executable which has been compiled with the GNU C compiler and
- uses DJ Delorie's DOS extender, go32. While this version does not run in
- VCPI or DPMI environments, it does offer virtual memory (swaps to disk)
- and will spawn a DOS shell with almost the entire lower memory free (I've
- incorporated Ralf Brown's SPAWNO into go32!).
