I am looking for answers on this project (not from this list--I learned
my lesson :-))
I am studying LISP because it is something that I never saw...
When I, in private, find a way someday to enter the sacred priesthood of
the Frenchies who seek Liberte' from OS's, I will write an easier
"HOWTO: TUNES" than exists today.
With Tunes, the gate isn't only guarded by a big Ogre, but hidden
underneath a thicket in a forest that appears on no map.
I think I might have found the approximate location within 100 square
miles... so I'll go back to the search..
