AUTHORSHIP INFORMATION
|

------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The Common Lisp HyperSpec is not the ANSI Common Lisp standard, but is
|
|
based on that standard (with permission from ANSI and X3).
|
|
|
|
As an official reference to the Common Lisp language, hardcopy
|
|
documentation of ANSI Common Lisp, (American National Standard X3.226)
|
|
from ANSI is always definitive.
|
|
|
|
The hypertext markup for this document was created by Kent Pitman, with
|
|
the aid of a custom program written in ANSI Common Lisp and created
|
|
specifically for this task. Funding for the markup task was provided by
|
|
and copyright of the result is owned by LispWorks Ltd.
|
|
|
|
Some additional design documents have been included in marked up form
|
|
and cross-referenced which are not part of the standard but may be
|
|
useful in understanding it. Plaintext versions of these documents,
|
|
which offer a useful historical perspective, are available to anyone
|
|
by anonymous public FTP from ftp://parcftp.xerox.com/pub/cl/cleanup/.

The Java applet used in the Symbol Index (visible only in some

browsers) was written by Evan Williams. Its copyright is owned by

WARRANTY DISCLAIMER

|
THIS DOCUMENT IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
|
|
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
|
|
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND
|
|
NON-INFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT WILL LISPWORKS BE LIABLE FOR DIRECT,

ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMERS
|
|
|
|
Not all notations in that TeX-based document were possible to
|
|
represent exactly in HTML, although an attempt has been made to be as
|
|
accurate as possible. Nevertheless, the process of translation was
|
|
heuristic, and discrepancies might have resulted. Formally, the
|
|
official ANSI printed document is always the definitive reference.
|
|
|
|
The X3J13 issue documents are not part of the standard and are
|
|
provided purely for historical perspective. It is possible that some
|
|
of the documents, as included, are not the final form that X3J13
|
|
voted, or that some which were voted were omitted, or that references
|
|
from these documents into the source text are not complete, or that
|
|
some edits prescribed by these documents were incorrectly implemented,
|
|
or that other discrepancies exist between these documents and the
|
|
specification. These documents have no formal weight, and in all
|
|
cases, the hardcopy specification is definitive.
