I am interested in a lisp (or scheme) interpreter for the Atari ST. I have seens ads for Cambridge Lisp in magazines and wonder if anyone could tell me about it. I have Xlisp, but am not too happy with it. Really appreciate any replies. Thank you Chris Kacoroski ski2@blake.acs.washington.edu

Thank you I picked up a copy cheap from my dealer under the impression that MetaComCo had dropped it. Since I got it to learn LISP and haven't gotten around to it yet, I can't comment on it, but it looks like a reasonably well put together package. But does anyone know if it is still in production? As I recall, I sent in the registration card but it bounced back to me! -- Bill Silvert, Habitat Ecology Division.

Umm, drawing upon (notoriously unreliable) memory, I have the impression that Metacomco aren't doing Cambridge Lisp any more. They used to supply an ST version of a C compiler which has been picked up since by Hisoft in the UK. I will ask them if they picked up the Cambridge Lisp distribution as well. Hisoft are a good quality outfit, they are (sole?) distributors (importers?) of the Spectre GCR in the UK. I'll pass on the details when/if I get them. Anyone else who is interested in the current state of Cambridge Lisp, keep an eye on responses in the notestring.
