It's based on an obscure dialect of Cambridge Lisp, has really weird scoping rules, and doesn't have ANY Amiga hooks. $100 is about $200 too much for it... art baker | Whatever happened to Fay Wrey -- (usual disclaimers) | that delicate, satin-draped frame... =====================================================================
