Write code ?

Some people find it awkward to deal with X11 at the FFI level and prefer 
to use an
interface layer called "CLX"; there's a slightly old version of CLX for 
CCL in

<ftp://clozure.com/pub/CLX/clx-060601.tar.gz>

As far as I know, that code basically works; there are several compiler 
warnings
generated when it's compiled and I think that I actually cleaned them up 
fairly
recently but must have gotten distracted before packaging those changes up.

Several years ago, Gilbert Baumann converted the CLX manual to HTML; it's
still available online at:
