What's the street price or educational price for Coral Common LISP for the Mac? Mac Today (May 9, p 9) notes Pearl LISP from Coral for $100. How does this differ from Coral's Common LISP?

They don't sell it on the street! :) I don't think the discounts are as low as for other software packages. List is $600. ComputerWare advertised $542 in MacTutor. Educational is $300. Sorry, I don't know the exact differences between Allegro and Pearl but, I heard hat Pearl is a *good* subset of Allegro. You can call Coral toll-free: 800/521-1027.

I don't have the current list price on Allegro Common Lisp, but highly recommend Pearl which now lists at $175.00 US. Pearl is almost a subset of Allegro (i.e. there are very minor differences between it and some subset of Allegro). More than adequate for real Lisping. Both Pearl and Allegro give you the closest thing to the Symbolics Lisp Machine on a PC that I know of. They are both truely excellent products. Pearl lets you generate stand alone applications --- no fee. The only real complaint I have is that FRED (their) Emacs-like editor is not programmable (the Allegro version is). Both programs give reasonable access to the Toolbox. My only relationship to Coral is that of customer. These opinions have nothing to do with my employer (as far as I know).
