I am looking for data on software development productivity while doing development on lisp machine versus doing equivalent development on a conventional time-shared system. The comparison I am looking at is something like comparing Franz lisp + the needed "generic" development tools (editors, shells, etc), on a Unix* system, versus the integrated environment presented by the Symbolics* workstation. I know that this has been a popular subject on the net in the past, but I haven't seen much authoritative data. Any sound data I can collect has the potential to influence purchase decisions throughout AT&T, so if you have the evidence, now is your chance to present it. I would be particularly interested in published material with hard numbers. *Unix is a Trademark of AT&T *Symbolics is a Trademark of Symbolics, inc. -- Warren Montgomery, ihesa!warren
