| |
| 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 Common Lisp and created |
| specifically for this task. Funding for the markup task was provided |
| by and copyright of the result is owned by Xanalys Incorporated. 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 |

| 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. Trademarks LispWorks |
