Edit ``CLIM''
The Common Lisp Interface Manager (CLIM) is a Lisp-based programming interface specification that provides a layered set of portable facilities for constructing _(GUI)s. These include basic windowing, input, output, and graphics services; stream-oriented input and output extended with facilities such as output recording, presentations, and context sensitive input; high level "formatted output" facilities; application building facilities; command processing; and a compositional toolkit similar to those found in the X world that supports look and feel independence. _(McCLIM) is a Free Software implementation of CLIM Information about CLIM: <ul> <li><a href="ftp://ftp.parc.xerox.com/transient/janssen/lp90.ps">A Guided Tour of the Common Lisp Interface Manager</a> published in 1991 by Lisp Pointers (<a href="http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~tfb/misc/lp90.ps.gz">alternate gzipped PostScript</a> and <a href="http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~tfb/misc/lp90.pdf">PDF</a> versions) (<a href="http://web.archive.org/">Wayback Machine</a> copies: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20070227025831/http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~tfb/misc/lp90.ps.gz">.ps.gz</a>, <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20070221203546/http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~tfb/misc/lp90.pdf">.pdf</a>) <li><a href="http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/mcclim-devel/2005-July/000588.html">Overview of CLIM abstraction layers</a> by Duncan Rose (seems to be down, maybe it was <a href="http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.mcclim.devel/580">this mail</a>, but I can't find what the other URL refers to) <li><a href="http://www.mikemac.com/mikemac/clim/cover.html">CLIM2 Specification</a></li> <li>An <a href="http://bauhh.dyndns.org:8000/clim-spec/index.html">annotatable version</a> of the specification, hosted by Gilbert Baumann.</li> <li><a href="http://mcclim.cliki.net/index">McCliki a Wiki for McClim</a> <li><a href="http://www.lispworks.com/reference/lwl42/CLIM-U/html/climguide.htm">User's guide</a> (from <a href="http://www.lispworks.com">Xanalys</a>)</li> <li>Another <a href="http://www.franz.com/support/documentation/6.2/doc/clim-ug.pdf">User Guide</a>, this one from <a href="http://www.franz.com">Franz</a></li> <li><a href="http://bauhh.dyndns.org:8000/mcclim/clim-layout-protocol-for-dummies.text">CLIM Layout Protocol for Dummies</a> by Gilbert Baumann (occasionally unavailable, try later) <li><a href="http://www.sts.tu-harburg.de/~r.f.moeller/uims-clim/clim-intro.html">User Interface Management Systems: The CLIM Perspective</a> (used to be <a href="http://kogs-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/~moeller/uims-clim/clim-intro.html">here</a>)</li> <li><a href="http://www.paoloamoroso.it/log">Lisp Propulsion Laboratory log</a>: Lisp blog with frequent CLIM content <li><a href="http://kantz.com/jason/clim-primer/">A tutorial</a> by Jason Kantz <li>A short but useful <a href="http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&selm=opsflz2jcrk6vmsw%40news.xs4all.nl">description of CLIM's command loop and interaction styles</a> (<code>comp.lang.lisp</code> article) <li><a href="ftp://publications.ai.mit.edu/ai-publications/2004/AIM-2004-005.pdf">New Architectural Models for Visibly Controllable Computing: The Relevance of Dynamic Object Oriented Architectures and Plan Based Computing Models</a> (see section 7 "CLIM: Presentation Based Interfaces" on page 31) <li><a href="http://www.iscblog.info/blog/display/45">Quicksilver: Text Interfaces Beyond Launching</a>: blog entry by <a href="http://www.iscblog.info/blog/">Brian Mastenbrook</a> about text interfaces and CLIM (his site died, and he has resurrected it <a href="http://brian.mastenbrook.net/">here</a> ; the document can be found with the <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20051017020123/http://www.iscblog.info/blog/display/45">Wayback Machine Internet Archive</a> ) <li><a href="ftp://ftp.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/ai-repository/ai/lang/lisp/gui/clim/0.html">CLIM in the CMU Lisp repository</a> <li><a href="mailto:clim-request@bbn.com">clim-request@bbn.com</a>, subscribe to the CLIM Mailing list.
