Hi. I am not the one to decide about such things but I have two cents to drop. I have skimmed the manual page for klisp and I suppose it does not offer interface to system calls. In essence, it seems to be of same usefullness as a Lisp interpreter written in, say, awk. If I would want to propose any Lisp into the base system, I would point at s9fes (Scheme 9 from Empty Space), also by Nils Holm. It is bigger than klisp, but at least gives some Unix/POSIX functions to use in the scripts. Also, it is Scheme, so in theory one can at least try to make use of some freely available Scheme code from the net. Much more useful in a Unix-like environment, I would say. http://t3x.org/s9fes/index.html But I am not proposing - I have no idea how many people would find this thing helpful in their life. As far as I know, there is not many (it any) scripts in Scheme that cater to Unix users. If one would like to have it on base, it is as easy as procuring shar archive which takes care of compiling and installing this stuff when needed and keeping it on some pendrive. -- Regards, Tomasz Rola -- ** A C programmer asked whether computer had Buddha's nature. ** ** As the answer, master did "rm -rif" on the programmer's home ** ** directory.
