Hello, Does anyone know what Lisps exist for the Macintosh NOW? There used to be Allegro, but it is no longer offered on the Mac platform. I heard about Coral, but I don't know where they are. Any other suppliers?? Thanks. -- Geert Adriaens (SIEMENS-METAL Project & University of Leuven) Maria Theresiastraat 21 siegeert@kulcs.uucp or B-3000 Leuven siegeert@blekul60.bitnet or tel: ..32 16 285091 285098(fax) siegeert@cs.kuleuven.ac.be

There are two Common Lisps around: Procyon Common Lisp from Procyon of Cambridge UK, and Macintosh Allegro Common Lisp via APDA. I don't have contact information to hand but if no-one else posts it I guess I'll have to ..

To make a long story short: 1. A company called Coral produced Lisps variously called "Pearl Lisp", "Coral Common Lisp", and "Allegro Common Lisp for the Mac". 2. Apple bought Coral and the product became "Macintosh Allegro Common Lisp". The current version of this product (MACL 1.3.2) is still available from APDA. 3. To avoid confusion (believe it or not), the new version of MACL has been renamed "Macintosh Common Lisp 2.0" (MCL 2.0). This product has just been released in a Beta version, also available from APDA. Here's APDA's address: APDA Apple Computer 20525 Mariani Avenue, M/S 33G Cupertino, CA 95014-6299 USA.

You can also find Lelisp which is develloped by the Inria in France and is a dynamic lisp (not free), and Pearl Lisp wich is a static common Lisp, with nice help menus.
