Appendix D LispWorks CLIM and CAPI
This appendix describes how the current version of LispWorks CLIM uses the CAPI (Common Application Programmer's Interface).
Native gadgets in CLIM are implemented using CAPI gadgets. Table 4., CLIM Gadgets and the Equivalent CAPI Gadgets sets out the equivalences between the CLIM gadgets and CAPI gadgets.
