[comp.sys.amiga] Lisp on the Amiga: some questions and some news!

        Ok.  Here's some more questions and comments.  I'm currently learning
lisp on a VMS system here.  I have recently downloaded from a local BBS the
Xlisp v2.0 package and it seems very similar to common VMS lisp.  My question
is this:  Is there a newer or better PD lisp language out there?  If not, would
anyone know if Xlisp is considered a worthwhile Amiga language?

        My professor here has written an environment he calls Vlisp.  It has a
good editor and several commands for loading, saving, EDITING, and listing
functions.  I might be able to get it to run under Xlisp or some similar lisp
language, and I have his blessing for releasing it.  I just want to be sure
that when/if I do release it that it will be packaged with a
popular/good/useful Lisp environment that is up to date and debugged.  If I get
it to work, it will VASTLY improve the Lisp work area.  If you feel response is
not worthy of a public posting, please email me.  I will forward mail to my
professor if you'd like to discuss anything with him.  He is our Lisp Guru and
he definately knows what he is doing with AI, neural networks, etc.

        The environment would be a boon to Amiga AI work, that's for sure.

Dave.
