We at Ga Tech (ai group working for prof Janet Kolodner) are trying to
establish a degree of compatability between Franz Lisp and Zeta Lisp
(Symbolics Lisp Machine). Rumor has it that there may exist a 'flavor'
package for Franz; could anyone supply any clues about this system?

Also, does anyone have any general comments about the ZetaLisp flavor
system? Is it a truly useful extension to Lisp or is it merely a faddish,
Smalltalk-like tack-on? Comments about specific experiences building flavored
systems would be *most* appreciated (that is, systems other than the Lisp
Machine itself).

thanks!
