< a short tear in the fabric of Amiga threads... Gack! Someone mentioned that Metacomco Lisp was possibly a *dialect* of common lisp! Kripes! The idea behind common lisp was to converge on a lisp standard, not 1/2 ass compliance. Imagine yourself in an AI class and the prof wants everyone to try to get his favorite common lisp based flavours system up and running. Or maby you have to build an ATMS. Everything I have seen just dosn't cut it. Sorry to say, even XLisp is a *pain* to use when debuggin a large system. I'm waiting for something good. Heck I'll even pay tall bucks for it. Carl ... and now back to Amiga stuff>
