[E-Lang] Sisal

[James R. McGraw]

Norman,

For all intents and purposes, Sisal is no longer an "active" area of 
research.  Funding at LLNL for this effort concluded about 6 years 
ago.  The web pages are no longer up here.  As I had indicated to 
Alan Karp, the only web pages I know of are those maintained by David 
Raymond at New Mexico Tech:

http://www.physics.nmt.edu/raymond/raymondfrontpage.html

It is really just an archive of the old Sisal stuff, not really any 
fancy web pages.

If you have questions about Sisal, I am always interested in trying 
to help out, so just send me some messages.

Jim
