Does anyone know of an Amiga Common Lisp? If so, any information/comments
would be appreciated (email, of course).

I have an ANCIENT version (JAN 86 - v1.0) of this, but haven't had any problems with it. I would upgrade, but I just bought it to play with, so that isn't a pressing need. I suspect that the version currently available is much better. If you decide to go this route, I would appreciate a note letting me know what is in the package (if it is vastly improved, I'll have to dig up the cash for an upgrade). The only irritating thing about this lisp (mildly since I don't do it often) is that system calls are a real pain in the a** to implement. I tried for a while, then gave up. ( I didn't really try very hard :-) Hope that this helps. > Jim Berry John. -- John G.

I have >an ANCIENT version (JAN 86 - v1.0) of this, but haven't had any problems Sorry, but the Commodore/Metacomco stuff is most emphatically NOT Common Lisp. It is based on something called "Standard Lisp" that originated at the University of Utah. With some work (SMOP!) you could make it look super- fically like Common Lisp, but the lack of lexical closures will keep it from really being a Common Lisp.
