Hi,

I've got some thousand lines of code written in Lucid CL.
While most of the code looks pretty 'CL'-like, some files
heavily depend on its 'flavors' package.

Does somebody know if there is a 'flavors' package for
recent Lisp implementations?

Regards,
Michael

There is at least one, bundled with AllegroCL (use (require :flavors) to
load it). Seems to be there for ~15 years.

Flavors heavily contributed to the development of CLOS (part of the CL
standard). A web search for the two words flavors and clos should
find a few papers describing their similarities, porting, etc.

Thanks. I already have these papers. Just didn't want to rewrite code.

Regards,

It's been there since I wrote it in 1985. It's still efficiently
compiled, still supported, but of course little used these days except
for some historical engineering systems.
