- This file was added.
| trivial-gray-streams is a trivial library which provides an extremely | |||||
| thin compatibility layer for Gray streams. | |||||
| From David N. Gray's STREAM-DEFINITION-BY-USER proposal: | |||||
| "Common Lisp does not provide a standard way for users to define | |||||
| their own streams for use by the standard I/O functions. This impedes | |||||
| the development of window systems for Common Lisp because, while | |||||
| there are standard Common Lisp I/O functions and there are beginning | |||||
| to be standard window systems, there is no portable way to connect | |||||
| them together to make a portable Common Lisp window system. There | |||||
| are also many applications where users might want to define their | |||||
| own filter streams for doing things like printer device control, | |||||
| report formatting, character code translation, or encryption/decryption." | |||||
| This package is compiled with CLISP. | |||||
