[comp.sys.transputer] questions

Hi,
 
Does anyone have more information on the Meiko Common Lisp implementation
that should be (according to Meiko) on beta test at 2 universities in the
UK ? We would like to hear more about performance, user friendliness (or
the lack of it) and so on.
 
My other question regards 3L C. We are trying to implement a full-text
retrieval document system on transputers with massive databases (several
hundreds of megabytes) which we would like to make as parallel as possible.
We need some information on the ability of 3L C to read disks from any
processor in the network (v2.0 did not do that, but maybe v2.1 does ...).
If it does, it would be interesting to see the performance of that.
 
Thanks very much in advance,
 
Patrick
