We so far haven't been able to get any information out of SUN France regarding which Common Lisp will end up being supported by SUN. The result is that we are developing both in Lucid Common Lisp and in Franz's Common Lisp (called by SUN Version 3.0 Beta test). Rumor is that the latter will NOT replace Lucid as the standard SUN supported language after all, but we would really like to know more definitively. Can anyone corroborate or invalidate the rumors? Thanks. -- Drew ADAMS, Laboratoires de Marcoussis, Centre de Recherche de la Compagnie Generale d'Electricite, Route de Nozay, 91460 MARCOUSSIS, FRANCE Tel. 64.49.11.54, adams@crcge1.cge.fr

Can anyone corroborate or invalidate the rumors? My information is that Sun has still (as of 2 weeks ago) not made up it's mind. Seems that they feel that there are problems with both. Sun had planned to release their Symbolic Programming Environment on Sun 3.0, but eventually went ahead and released it under Lucid 2.1. It seems that it's still up in the air. -- Mike Clarkson mike@ists.UUCP Institute for Space and Terrestrial Science mike@ists.yorku.ca York University, North York, Ontario, uunet!mnetor!yunexus!ists!mike CANADA M3J 1P3 +1 (416) 736-5611
