# xbvl(1)

A Lisp implementation developed at Paris 8 University

## NAME

xbvl - A Lisp implementation developed at Paris 8 University

## SYNOPSIS

**xbvl** \[ *session* \]

*session* is a file containing an image of a previous Xbvl session, allowing Xbvl to restore its state.  But this doesn't work very well.

## DESCRIPTION

*Xbvl* is a Lisp dialect, which main features are:

- 1\.

  Automatic optimizations of Lisp code

- 2\.

  Possibility to add additional activities to Lisp functions, instructions and variables. These activities don't affect the program behavior

- 3\.

  Interface with X Windows system and Athena (and 3D Athena) widget set

- 4\.

  Interface with SGI Open GL or Mesa GL graphic library

Although it is right now in French, plans are to translate it entirely to English.

## BUGS

Many.
