Next: How CLIM Is Different, Up: Introduction
This manual documents McCLIM 0.9.3 which is a mostly complete implementation of the CLIM 2.0 specification and its revision 2.2. To our knowledge version~2.2 of the CLIM specification is only documented in the “CLIM 2 User's Guide” by Franz. While that document is not a formal specification, it does contain many cleanups and is often clearer than the official specification; on the other hand, the original specification is a useful reference. This manual will note where McCLIM has followed the 2.2 API. Also, some protocols mentioned in the 2.0 specification, such as parts of the incremental redisplay protocol, are clearly internal to CLIM and not well described. It will be noted here when they are partially implemented in McCLIM or not implemented at all.
