Basics

This note outlines an implementation of XLISP-STAT for Microsoft Windows 3.1. The executable is called WXLS. WXLS must be run in protected mode and requires at least a 386 processor with at least 2MB of memory. Only one instance of WXLS can be run at one time. A Win32 version is now available as well. The Win32 executable is called 32. It requires Win32s to run under Windows 3.1.

This implementation uses an MDI-style interface. The listener, graphics windows, and modeless dialog windows are subwindows of an MDI client window. Menus appear in the client window's menu bar. The implementation is quite similar to the Macintosh version. This note assumes you are familiar with the description of the Macintosh version given Appendix B.2 of Tierney (1990).

The current implementation is experimental; the current release at the time of writing is 3.39. I have only tested this version on a 486DX2 computer with 16MB of memory and a math coprocessor. Please let me know if you run into any problems. A detailed description of the problem and the hardware configuration would be most helpful.
