NAME:

Common Lisp Interface Manager, V2.0

 

VENDOR:

Well, this gets kind-of complicated. It was started by a company called 'Internation Lisp Associates', or ILA, but was adopted by several Lisp vendors. The five active CLIM parters are:

SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:

CLIM is a de-facto extension to the Common Lisp language. It supports standard shape-drawing primitives with a portable color model. Full 2D affine transforms are supported. In addition, a platform-independent typeface specification mechanism is included. CLIM operates through a back-end for each underlying GUI. Back-end efforts exist for Motif (which is shipping), OpenLook, and the Macintosh. I don't think that there is a Windows back-end yet. CLIM can also run in a CLIM-look-and-feel mode as a fallback.
