My fiancee has a Lisp for the Macintosh called "Le Lisp" version 15.2 published by ACT Informatique/INRIA. Unfortunately, the menus and dialogs are all in French, which makes it very difficult for me to help her in her project. Is there an English mother/daughter of this program available? I'd appreciate any information, tips, tricks, warnings and so on on this package. Also, are there any other good Lisp's on the market for the Macintosh? I've only heard of Allegro Common Lisp. Thanks in advance. Please e-mail replies to me as I do not normally subscribe to this newsgroup. I will summarize all replies to the net. -- Shih Tung The best l'il Tech school in Cambridge

Dear Shih - You might want to check out Macintosh Allegro Common Lisp from Apple. It is available from APDA and Developer Tools Express. It is, from all I hear, a very nice Lisp environment. -- Jordan Mattson UUCP: jordan@apple.apple.com Apple Computer, Inc.

I sent out a request for information on Le Lisp sometime ago. Thanks to all those who replied. My problem was that my fiancee was using Le Lisp, but the menus and dialogs in this program are in French, which made it difficult for me to help her. > Is there an English mother/daughter of this program available?

There seem to be two Allegro Common Lisp's - one which runs under the Mac OS, and one which only runs under A/UX. The former is called Macintosh Allegro Common Lisp and received generally good reviews. There is also a product called Procyon Common Lisp, marketed by Expertelligence in the US, and Procyon in Europe. This product also received positive reviews. Unfortunately, this product doesn't seem to be marketed by any of the major mail order software houses. -- Shih Tung The best l'il Tech school in Cambridge
