Misc newbie queries

[cormullion]

Hi.



Where should I post newLISP questions that are neither Windows or Linux or MacOS? The forums are a strange mixture of platform-specific and general newLISP and non-newLISP questions.



Can I get a UTF-8 version for MacOS X without having to build from source..?



Can I get an RSS feed for these forums (I found the News one...)?



Why does the logo on the BB have curly brackets ? just kidding now :-)



thanks!

Questions neither Windows nor Linux/UNIX/OSX go here in the general Lisp section. If you find problems in the documentation it typically gets posted in the News section:



- UTF-8 for Mac OSX would have to be made from source, but I made one for you and posted it here:



http://newlisp.org/downloads/development/MacOSX-UTF8/newlisp">http://newlisp.org/downloads/developmen ... F8/newlisp">http://newlisp.org/downloads/development/MacOSX-UTF8/newlisp



when in the Mac-Safari browser right-click and download 'Save linked file ...'. Then in a terminal window do:



 chmod 755 newlisp



to make it executable and move it to /usr/bin/newlisp



 sudo mv newlisp /usr/bin



I made it on Tiger 10.4.3 and it has commandline editing enabled, so you can hit cursor-up to retrieve previous statements entered. Its version 8.7.3, which is considered as stable as the release 8.7.1 version.



-  I don't know about RSS form this Board Ryon who sponsors/administers this board, will know.
