[comp.sys.next] News on Common Lisp and 2.0

paul@phoenix.Princeton.EDU (Paul Lansky) (09/17/90)

I have just spoken with someone at NeXT and the current 
situation concerning Allegro Common Lisp and the 2.0
release is currently being negotiated between NeXT and
Franz.  It seems that they have reached a verbal agreement
so far, but this has not yet been formalized.  What they
have said is that Allegro Common Lisp will be bundled in
the 2.0 release for all current users.  New users, on the
other hand, will have to get ACL from Franz.  My source
had no idea what the charge would be but said that they were
hoping that it would not be unreasonable.  Franz will have
to make this decision.
