Lisp is available from UCB (ftp from ucb-vax) for the SUN and many
simialr 68K-based machines. We have it up on our SMI SUNs running
4.1c UNIX. It seems about as good as Franz on the VAX, which from a
graphics standpoint, is saying nothing at all.
By the way, the SUN graphics library, SUNCore, seems to be an OK
implementation of the SIG Core standard. It has some omissions and
extensions, like every implementation. I haven't used it extensively
yet, and it has some problems, but it should get some good graphics
programs going fairly rapidly. I haven't yet seen a good graphics
demo for the SUN. I hope this isn't indicative of what you can
actually do with one.
By the way, "Sun Workstation" is a registered trademark of Sun
Microsystems, Inc. You may be able to get a "SUN-like" system
elsewhere. I'm not an employee of Sun, I just have to deal with them
a lot...
