Subject: moving to the new picasso...
Status: RO

here's the note that joe sent me about the new picasso...

  The new PICASSO.  Now that CIMTOOL runs under the new Picasso, I think we
need a push to move any changes to the toolkit and all of the remaining tools
into the new system.  I think the support directory for cimtool does a pretty
good job of showing how to make support code work under the new scheme.  I'd
be happy to spend an hour or two with a group of people (if needed) converting
one more existing tool to show how it is done.  In the meantime, the toolkit
is in good shape and there are only a few things people need to know to make
changes:

        1.  The code is in ~picasso/new
        2.  Note any new files (or old ones deleted) in ~picasso/new/pic.cl
        3.  The development cycle is to run 4 jobs:

                compile-picasso      # this compiles all the lisp files
                make-picasso-fasl    # this creates one big fasl file for pic
                dump-picasso         # this creates the new-picasso dump
                dump-picasso-small   # this creates the small-picasso dump

        4.  The entire process takes under an hour
        5.  The picasso dump includes a video package and especially the
            symbol video:*real-player-p* which is true whenever picasso
            is being run on a video-equipped machine (i.e., linus)
        6.  I don't have cling in yet, but will do so when needed.
