To install Pail correctly run "config" from the pail directory.
"config" will need to know where is the pail code installed
and where is Common Lisp installed.



After running "config" you are ready to use the Portable AI Lab.  
Start Common Lisp.
Make sure that your X windows system is running, and that the value of
the Unix environment variable DISPLAY is set to your current console.
At the Common Lisp prompt type

(load "pail-load.cl")


This version of the Portable AI Lab requires Common Lisp (as
specified in Common Lisp: the Language, 2nd edition) with CLOS and
Common Windows.  We have compiled and tested this version with Allegro
CL version 4.1, case-mode :case-insensitive-upper (and earlier 
versions of Allegro that contain CLOS and CW), and Allegro Common 
Windows version 2.0 running on a Sun SparcStation.  
We request all those who use this version, and
especially those who use it on some platform other than that described
above, to provide us with feedback, by electronic mail if possible
(send to pail-info@idsia.ch), concerning the following:

  - Ease of installation.

  - Experience using the system to date.

  - Intended use in the future.


If it is not possible to reach us via electronic mail, please send
