-------------------------------------

	I'm investigating a way to translate already existing code
written for a particular CL environment, into a portable
version.  So far, I've heard that CLOS (Common Lisp Object System)
has been approved as a standard by the X3J13 Committee in June 1988,
and that CLX (Common Lisp X Interface) seems likely (if not already)
to be the standard for the windowing system.

	In particular, I'ld like information about
already existing work/ideas/hints/clues on:
  a) guidelines, semi-automated or automated processes
  b) especially on CLX, since I've heard of some work
     done on (FLAVORS -> CLOS) by Symbolics
  c) for Symbolics Genera 7.2, TI/Explorer, and
     Apollo (aka HP) DN-10000; although general
     advice would also be appreciated


(Ye old) Thanx in advance,
