A poster recently asked:

"Does anyone out there have a machine-independent CL "LOOP" macro?  I'd
sure like something as close to the one in Steele as possible, so that
when the various cl implementations provide a LOOP we don't have to     
change anything."

I believe that an extended LOOP that works on a wide variety of Common Lisp
implementations can be found via anonymous FTP to wheaties.ai.mit.edu.

While you're there, you might also want to pick up "series" and "xp," both of
which are also documented in Steele 2nd ed.
