I hope I got the correct "Ramona Rao", that is, the one that has co-authored "A Guided Tour of CLIM". McCLIM is an effort to provide a free CLIM environment for recent CL implementations like SBCL, CMUCL, et al. The community hasn't come up with a useful and short documentation like your tour to introduce users to CLIM. Unfortunately, CLIM has changed and the examples included in the article don't run anymore. I would like to update this article to produce a tutorial for the McCLIM community. Given the age of the article I presume that the interest in commercial exploitation has also faded. Therefore, I would like to ask, if it's possible to obtain any TeX source for this article. If the source got lost, I could also extract the text and reformat it. Of course, I would need your permission for these actions. Also, I'm not sure if that's ok for ACM. Is any of that possible? Thanks in advance!

CLIM has changed much since 1991, especially with the release of the CLIM 2 specification. The CLIM community lacks a good and short introduction to CLIM like your article was. I would like to update the examples in your article and also rewrite parts of the article that doesn't apply to the new CLIM. Assuming your permission for this action, I intend to publish this update on my webpage to aid the CLIM community. Ramano Rao as well as Bill York give me permission for this update. ACM also acknowledged this step. Now, I would like to ask, if this is ok with you. Thank you, Clemens P.S.

I happily give you permission to adapt the text as supports the CLIM community. I've really been out of touch and would be curious to hear any highlights of what's happening there. Meanwhile, Bill York may be able to put his hands on the tex source.

Because the article in question appeared in a SIG newsletter, rather than a journal or conference proceedings, the authors retained copyright. In this case, ACM only requires acknowledgment of the original publication. You have received permission from two of the three authors, but you should also pursue the third author's permission, especially since you have revised the original work. Let me know if you have any further questions.

From: *Robert Strandh* <strandh@labri.fr <mailto:strandh@labri.fr>> Date: Dec 17, 2005 4:37 PM Subject: permission to update your CLIM article To: dennis.doughty@pantero.com <mailto:dennis.doughty@pantero.com>
Dear Dennis Doughty,
I am one of the original authors of McCLIM, the free implementation of CLIM that we started writing in 2000 and which is now quite usable. One of the things we lack at the moment to spread the use of CLIM is a collection of simple examples on typical usage. Your CLIM article has some very good ones, but it was apparently written for CLIM 1, and the examples do not necessarily run unmodified on a CLIM 2 implementation.
Clemens Fruhwirth has suggested updating the examples of your article, but for that, he needs the permission of all the authors. He has already obtained the permission from your co-authors, so we need a permission from you as well in order to go ahead. Clemens would naturally accept a refusal on your part, and is willing to write a similar article from scratch, updated for CLIM 2, but that would be unnecessary work, should you agree to let him update yours.
We therefore kindly ask for your permission to update the article, or at least a clear message indicating that you do not give us such a permission. I am sure you are very busy like the rest of us, but I would very much appreciate this effort on your part.
Thanks in advance, -- Robert Strandh
