| Qi 7.3 has been successfuly run under SBCL for Windows. The system is
available from the home site www.lambdassociates.org.
The new release incorporates some minor patches to 7.2 and an
enhancement to the performance of the object code (Lisp) generated.
Qi now runs under 3 implementations of CL; CLisp, CMUCL and SBCL under
both Windows and Linux.
Thanks to Yaroslav Kavenchuk for his significant contribution to the
port of Qi to SBCL. The next release should be the Allegro port.

Just FYI, I've installed it under sbcl on Mac OS X intel. The test
suite seems to have some problem which I haven't diagnosed, but several
of the example programs seem to run just fine.

Ah; as I said to Yaroslav, the test suite was designed as a tool for
*myself* for testing the internals of each new release. To use it
effectively requires knowing exactly what to type in and what to
expect as a response because parts are interactive. And it covers a
whole range of tests including all the stuff in FPQi and beyond (e.g.
Qi-Prolog and Qi-YACC which many people have not yet got around to
exploring much). I never expected people to use this - its the
'engineer's hatch' to the system purely for testing releases.
I think in future I'll comment this suite much more if people want to
run their own tests.
You can send me a script of the problem if you like, and I'll see if
its for real.
Great it seems to run under Mac OS X.

Ah, I see now - I expected a set of automated tests - I didn't realize
at first that the test suite requires user input since there's no
prompt for it. So the test suite appears to run correctly too.

Yes, it does. Congratulations and good luck.
