[Openmcl-devel] bit string matching

[Lonnie Cumberland]

Greetings All,

I thank everyone for the responses. I looked over Clojure and must say
that I actually prefer common lisp and the Clozure implementation of
it.

With that said, my goal will be to write up a type of max-palindrome
implementation that is similar to the ones that I have posted in
functionality as I was just able to run them on Clojure which I
downloaded for a quick test.

Thanks again all and have wonderful day.
Lonnie

The algorithm you're looking for is simple enough that you'd be better off just implementing it directly in common lisp - assuming you want to use common lisp, not a lisp-like language that runs on the jvm.
