One of the advantages of Java, is that it already comes with good
system-independent graphics support. Is there the same available for
CLISP?

Thanks for answers...

The answer is probably not. But do you personally use Java for system-independent graphics support?
If you do its unlikely you would have the time to post to c.l.l. :)

I don't know about system-independent, but it normally comes with
CLX, which is X-windows based. There is also Garnet.

Who maintains Garnet these days?

To me, ``good'' would mean, in this context: ``Generates interfaces
that look, feel and perform exactly like the native widget set of the
underlying graphical platform.''

garnetlisp.sf.net took over where Fred Gilham left off. I haven't
looked at their distribution yet, though, because the one I'm using
works fine. When I try to get it running under X11 on Mac OS X, I'll
probably check it out and submit any patches if it needs it.

In an attempt to throw the authorities off his trail, k...@ashi.footprints.net (Kaz Kylheku) transmitted:

As far as I'm concerned, ``good'' would at least start with the notion
that something actually existed.

As far as I can tell, there is no system-independent graphics support
for CLISP. There may be something offered with ACL or LispWorks, but
not, as far as I can tell, for CLISP.

There is a SourceForge project called garnet-lisp.
