<h3>Open Source Common Lisp Software</h3>
<h1>S-SYSDEPS</h1>
<h2>An Abstraction Layer Over Platform Dependent Functionality</h2>
<p>
<a href="http://homepage.mac.com/svc/temaplte/index.html">S-SYSDEPS</a>
is an abstraction layer over platform dependent functionality.
This simple package is used as a building block in a number of other open source projects,
as can be seen from this description of some
<a href="http://homepage.mac.com/svc/oscl.html">other Open Source Common Lisp packages</a>.

<h3 id="features">Features</h3>
<p>
S-SYSDEPS abstracts:
</p>
<ul>
<li>managing processes</li>
<li>implementing a standard TCP/IP server</li>
<li>opening a client TCP/IP socket stream</li>
<li>working with process locks</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="status">Status</h3>
<p>
S-SYSDEPS is considered stable code.
</p>
<h3 id="news">News</h3>
<p>
<em>November 2005</em> - Created as a seperate project.
</p>
<h3 id="platforms">Platforms</h3>
<p>
S-SYSDEPS is, by definition, written in ANSI standard Common Lisp
but implemented using non-standard extensions.
At the moment, ports for LispWorks (reference), OpenMCL, CMUCL and SBCL exist.
Some other CL implementations are partially supported.
