But since I haven't actually modified LW at all, that shouldn't be an issue either. All I've done is to utilize an already present feature of the dynamic linker. A standard feature on UNIX-ish OS's that they choose to support. If anything is getting modified, it is my copy of the C standard library, not LW. Now if I were preloading a lib that interposed over LW's supplied libraries, that would be a different issue.

That's very interesting. Guitar + other equipment: $350-400. Marginal cost: $350-400. LispWorks license: north of $1000. Marginal cost: south of one buck. What's up with that?

He's talking about the free trial version. Since there hasn't been any sale, it's difficult to invoke the right of first sale. -- Raffael Cavallaro

It still runs under a Motif windows manager without mouse-wheel support. Excuse me but I owe my customers more than that. (Give me a decent GTK Linux interface and I'm right on it.) I regret that since I love CAPI. -------------- John Thingstad |
