[comp.sys.apollo] Common Lisp on Apollo

heap@tdb.uu.se (Per Bengtsson, Dept. of Scientific Computing) (02/24/89)

We have upgraded our Apollos to SR10, and now it seems that our
Domain/CommonLisp ver. 2.10 is obsolete.

Since we don't pay service on this software, we won't get any upgrades on it.

I recently heard about an alternative (to buying a newer version from Apollo)
called Kyoto Common Lisp (KCL).
After what I have heard this Lisp is portable (written in C) and is distributed
for free from the University of Kyoto, Japan. It's also supposed to use memory
more economically (good for our 4Mbyte nodes).
I have have also heard about an enhanced version from Austin, Texas (equally
portable ?, for free ?).

My questions are :

	1) Is KCL (any of the two versions) ported to Apollo ?
	   If so, can anyone compare it to the (Lucid) Clisp that Apollo offer?
	2) If not ported, is it easy to implement ?
	3) Where can I get it ? With FTP ?

I have DN3000:s running SR10.0 (BSD4.3).

Thanks in advance.
