This is the file LAMBDA.TXT, version 11.
Last Edit: 2005-Sep-13

To install on systems using BSD fortune(6), rename this file "lambda" and
store it in the appropriate fortunes directory, usually /usr/games/fortune
or /usr/share/fortune or something like that. Then in that directory run
strfile(8) on the "lambda" file which should produce a "lambda.dat". To
test, go to some other directory with no file called "lambda" in it, and
say "fortune lambda". If you get a lispy fortune you win. If not you lose.
To install on other systems simply find a fortune program, install it, and

Benchmarking sequence shuffling

;; It is often said that Lisp macros need not be used for optimization purposes. This
;; is an exception. SBCL issued the following warning when compiling the MAKE-ARRAY call
;; below:

;; ; note: unable to optimize because: ELEMENT-TYPE is not constant.

;; I don't want to lose the ability to decide which ELEMENT-TYPE to use by using
;; an :ELEMENT-TYPE argument, so I have to arrange for this argument to be processed
;; at compile time.

msys2 vs msys vs msysgit

MinGW doesn't provide a linux-like environment, that is MSYS(2) and/or Cygwin

Cygwin is an attempt to create a complete UNIX/POSIX environment on Windows. 
MinGW is a C/C++ compiler suite which allows you to create Windows executables - you only 
need the normal MSVC runtimes, which are part of any normal Microsoft Windows installation.

MinGW provides headers and libraries so that GCC (a compiler suite, 
not just a "unix/linux compiler") can be built and used against the Windows C runtime.

Hi all, with the integration of:

OS-7260 SmartOS should support booting with loader

and related work, there are changes in the way both SmartOS and Triton boot. See RFD 156 for some more background:

In general, unless you are re-installing a system, these changes are
