:shock: That's a disaster. Is this a permament closure? If so, I'd be happy to host the Afralisp content here at CADTutor. Does anyone know how I could contact the owner/webmaster?

That site has been my guiding light to LISP information. Well put together and very very informative. Sad day :(

Well, I have emailed Kenny, the Arfalisp site owner and offered to host the content here at CADTutor. I'll let you know if I hear back from him.

That would be fantastic...invaluable information he's got over there. Thanks for emailing him about hosting his info. That is a very, very nice gesture. You'd generate a ton of traffic with that.

I've got 52 HTML pages from Afralisp saved on my machine, including all the graphics. All concerning tutorials for lisp and dcl. If anyone wants them, I will send them.

I heard from Kenny yesterday. He's taking some time out right now and is giving himself some time to think about the future of the ArfaLISP content. This is more than reasonable under the circumstances but he has promised to keep me informed. Watch this space...

CadTutor could you do me a favor?
Next time you converse with him send along my regards.
I knew him from the CADVault site. I left it years ago
due to personal and administrator reasons.
Thank you.

That's great news. Check out this posting on Autodesk Discussion Groups (http://discussion.autodesk.com/thread.jspa?threadID=421442) for some insight. I've also emailed Kenny with an offer of support.

Hi Paul,

Once I already downloaded all the Afralisp tutorials just in a bundle or two, but it seems now no longer available in the Afralisp site.

Might you have it? If you might, would you share it with me, please? Thanks.

Which ones? I just went to http://www.afralisp.net/ and clicked on a few random ones and they are all still there.

It is funny. I went to the web site and all I see there is an empty pages. When I select the empty page, I see the text there. Without that, I see nothing???

Ever since a recent upgrade of Firefox I need to go to Tools > Options > Content > Colors and uncheck this box in order for Afralisp to display properly.

First time I see this!
Thanks for the tip. It worked well on Afralisp but it also screwed up everything else. I never had this problem with previous versions of Firefox neither.

Ahhh, Thank you lpseifert, whenever I went onto AfraLisp, the whole page was blank, and I always had to either copy/paste the whole page into Word, or ctrl-A the whole page and read it whilst its highlighted... but thanks for the tip - much appreciated. :P
