Max/MSP-ers --

I have a new LISP interpreter object available for download for those
who want to do some serious Processing of Lists (Hey! LISt Processing! Wow!):

	http://music.columbia.edu/~brad/maxlispj/

This relatively complete implementation of Common Lisp uses the "abcl"
java-based interpreter authored by Peter Graves as a base.  LISP is
a wonderfully elegant language for having all kinds of algorithmic
fun.

[maxlispj] supercedes my older [maxlisp] object, with greatly improved
error-handling, plus it is also available for both OSX and Windows
Max/MSP.  The standard output from (print)-ing functions as well
as the evaluated output of functional expressions is returned to
the Max/MSP environment.

I've been using this a fair amount during the past few weeks, and
it seems very stable.  Full source for both the "abcl" java classes
and the [maxlispj] java classes is also available.

I hope you enjoy this and can find it useful.  Happy 2008!
