We are in the process of selecting a Lisp package to port to a new computer system (target market is NOT the AI community but we would like to have a Lisp compiler and interpreter available on the system). At the moment our choice is limited to either Kyoto Common Lisp or the pd version of FRANZ LISP. KCL appears to be much simpler to port and maintain but we have no idea how potential users view KCL vs pd FRANZ. I would appreciate comments on the following: General experience with KCL. KCL vs pd FRANZ LISP. The importance of Lisp compiler speed - KCL's compiler is very slow. Please mail replies directly to me. If there is enough interest I can summarize results. Thank you. -- Kathleen Murphy ...!uwvax!astroatc!murphy Astronautics Technology Center 5800 Cottage Grove Rd. (608) 221-9001, x137 Madison, WI 53716

Someone posted an article about Kyoto Common Lisp about a year ago. How much does it cost (I think there was a handling charge only) ? Where can I get a tape/streamer copy ? Are there other *cheap* full Common Lisp implementations ? Thanks in advance, Andreas Toenne atoenne@unido.uucp
