Frobs Object System
===================

Frobs is an object-oriented frame language for Common Lisp.  It provides the
following:

  * object-oriented programming
  * frame-based programming
  * daemons
  * rule-based programming

A frob is a frame/object data structure that supports access in both frame
and object-oriented styles.  An additional system, Frolic (frobs + logic) is
a Prolog-in-Lisp that provides unification-style search on object-oriented
frob databases.

Frobs is currently supported in Hewlett-Packard's HP Common Lisp, Utah's
Portable Common Lisp Subset (PCLS), Lucid Common Lisp, Kyoto Common Lisp,
and Franz Common Lisp.

See the file INSTALL for installation instructions, and information about
porting frobs to a new Lisp system.
