Re: MCL Software Directory

Dear MCL Users,

The MCL Software (and consultant) Directory is now available at:

   http://www.hotdispatch.com/mcl/

Some of you have listed their contributions themselves (thanks Terje, 
Takehiko and others).  To get it going, we've also listed all 
contribs posted on Digitool's FTP site since last December.

We encourage all MCL developers to list their contributions and 
applications on the directory.  By doing so, you help MCL in two 
significant ways:

1. you'll make it easier for other MCL users to find and learn about 
MCL tools and applications.

2. you'll help us market MCL to other developers on HotDispatch.  For 
example, mention of your contrib will appear in HotDispatch's weekly 
email to 30,000 subscribers.

Note that your listing on the MCL Software Directory can point to 
your contrib files at other locations (e.g. they can remain at 
ftp.digitool.com).

Thank you for supporting MCL.

Announcing MCL 4.3.5

Digitool is pleased to announce MCL 4.3.5, a CarbonLib based version that is intended to allow users to
begin migrating their code to Carbon and ultimately native Mac OS X compatibility. Though MCL 4.3.5 is not
the Mac OS X native version (it will run in Mac OS Classic compatibility mode), it includes many of the
improvements that we've added in the course of working on the native Mac OS X port, including:

* New Carbon-compatible interfaces

* New ".cfsl" file extension for Carbon-compatible compiled files

* Dozens of bug fixes to core code, user interfaces, OpenTransport, the
  compiler, and example files

* Many enhancements to Fred, user interfaces, streams, Quickdraw interface,
  ANSI compatibility, etc.

MCL 4.3.5 will be available for electronic download to
 1) MCL subscription owners with 1 or more remaining releases, and to
 2) purchasers of MCL 4.3.1

You will be contacted directly by Jennifer Jones with instructions on how to download your copy of MCL
4.3.5. If you fall under one of the two groups above and you do not hear from Jennifer by October 15th, please
write to orders <at> digitool.com with your current contact information.

We are also making good progress on the Mac OS X native version of MCL and will be reporting on that shortly.

Thank you for supporting Macintosh Common Lisp.
