This file is an appendix to the 29 July (Colander) Edition of the
Common Lisp Reference Manual.  Certain chapters have not been implemented
at all, but those that are largely available have only the exceptions
described.


Chapter 5.
DEFUN
	DECLARE is legal but does nothing.  No implicit BLOCK. DOC-STRING
	not put on property list.
DEFSELECT
	Not defined.
DEFCONST
	Conflicting PSL definition.  Probably not final Common Lisp def.
	anyway. (Latest report is that it will be named DEFCONSTANT).

Chapter 6.
TYPEP, SUBTYPEP
	Not defined.
RATIONALP
	Not defined (No rationals).
COMPLEXP
	Not defined (No complex numbers).
VECTORP
	Only true of (vector t)
ARRAYP
	True of vectors currently.  No arrays yet.
CLOSUREP
	Not defined (no closures).
EQUALP
	No FUZZ optional argument.  Same as EQUAL.

Chapter 7.
CLOSURE
	Not defined (No closures).
SWAPF, EXCHF
	Not defined.
FLET, LABELS, MACROLET
	Not defined (No local function definition).
CASE
	Incompatible PSL definition.
TYPECASE
	Not defined.
BLOCK
	Not defined.
RETURN
	Restricted placement.
RETURN-FROM
	Not defined.
Section 7.8.3 Mapping.
	The MAP functions in Standard Lisp take a single list as the first
	argument and the function as the second argument.  This is highly
	incompatible with Common Lisp.  The means of dealing with this has
	not been determined yet.
PROG
	No initializations.
PROG*
	Currently the same as PROG, since no initializations.
GO
	Restricted placement.
Section 7.9 Multiple Values
	Multiple values do not exist in PSL.
CATCH
	Incompatible PSL definition.  *CATCH follows this definition, with
	a single FORM.
CATCH-ALL, UNWIND-ALL, UNWIND-PROTECT
	Not defined.

Chapter 8.
DEFMACRO
	The PSL version has destructuring but not keywords.

Chapter 9.
DECLARE, LOCALLY, THE
	Currently defined as macros which do nothing.

Chapter 10.
	The current PSL implementation of property lists uses an a-list
	instead of the Common Lisp specification of alternating indicators
	and values.
GETPR
	No optional DEFAULT value.
GETF, PUTF, REMF
	Not defined.
GET-PROPERTIES, MAP-PROPERTIES
	Not defined.
COPYSYMBOL
	Not defined.
GENSYM
	No optional argument.
GENTEMP
	Not defined.
SYMBOL-PACKAGE
	Not defined.

Chapter 11.
	A very simple package system is implemented in PSL which is
	not compatible with this specification and is not fully integrated.
	Functions other than those below are not defined.
INTERN, REMOB, INTERNEDP
	No optional package.

Chapter 12.
	Complex numbers and ratios are not implemented in PSL.  The
	functions which are defined from this chapter are listed below.
	Others may be defined in the MATHLIB module.
ZEROP, PLUSP, MINUSP, ODDP, EVENP
	Return NIL instead of error for non-numeric arguments.
=, <=, >=, etc.
	Two arguments only.
MAX, MIN
	Defined as described.
+, -, *, /
	Defined as described.
INCF, DECF
	Defined as described.
EXPT
	POWER must be an integer.
ABS
	Defined as described (no complex numbers, though).
FLOAT
	No optional OTHER.
MOD
	Two arguments required, must be integers.
LOGIOR, LOGXOR, LOGAND, LOGNOT, ASH
	Defined as described.

Chapter 13.
	The CHARS module defines these functions, with the following
	exceptions.
MAKE-CHAR
	Not defined.
DIGIT-WEIGHT
	Not defined.
CHAR-NAME, NAME-CHAR
	Not defined.

Chapter 14.
	Many of the sequence functions are defined in PSL for lists only
	(e.g. LENGTH), and many use keyword arguments, which are not
	implemented.  The following are defined:
ELT, SETELT
	Defined as described.
SUBSEQ
	END argument is required, not optional.
COPYSEQ, CATENATE
	Defined as described.

Chapter 15.
LIST-LENGTH
	No optional LIMIT.
NTH
	Incompatible PSL definition.
MAKE-LIST
	Not defined.
APPEND, NCONC
	Takes only 2 arguments.
PUSHNEW
	Not defined.
BUTLAST, NBUTLAST
	No optional N (uses default value 1).
SETNTH
	Not defined.
SUBST, NSUBST
	EQUAL is used, not EQL.
SUBSTQ, NSUBSTQ
	Not defined.
NSUBLIS
	Not defined.
Section 15.5 Using Lists as Sets
	Most of these functions require keywords.  This section has not
	been implemented yet.
Section 15.6 Association Lists.
	Not implemented yet.
Section 15.7 Hash Tables
	Not yet implemented.

Chapter 16.
	Arrays do not yet exist in PSL.

Chapter 17.
	The string functions are obtained by LOADing the STRINGS module.
CHAR
	Conflicting PSL definition.  Not defined.
STRING=, STRING-EQUAL, etc.
	2 arguments only.  No keyword arguments.
MAKE-STRING
	FILL-CHARACTER is required.
STRING-UPCASE, STRING-DOWNCASE, STRING-CAPITALIZE
	No keyword arguments.
STRING
	Conflicting PSL definition.  Called STRINGIFY in the STRINGS pkg.

Chapter 18. Structures.
	We are currently using a version of DEFSTRUCT close to this,
	obtained by LOADing NSTRUCT.  This isn't documented and has some
	bugs, but it uses the same code as the LispM DEFSTRUCT.

Chapter 19. The Evaluator.
	This chapter is incomplete.

Chapter 20. Streams.
	Streams are not yet implemented in PSL in this fashion.

Chapter 21. Input and Output.
	Not yet implemented.

Chapter 22. File System Interface.
	Not yet implemented.

Chapter 23. Errors.
	Not yet implemented.

Chapter 24. The Compiler.
	Not yet implemented.
