I'm trying to find out how much interest within ATT there is in getting 
                      Franz Lisp  opus 42.12
for the 3b2/5/20. This would be the latest version from Franz Inc., the
company formed by the Berkley lisp folks. Some of the goodies are:

     . Flavors in the C kernel

     . Compiled code about 10x faster

     . A working C interface

     . evolution towards Common Lisp compatibility

     . Many bug fixes

The cost would be about $2000 for a 3b2, ? for a 3b5, and $5000 for a 3b20.
If there is sufficient interest to cover the non trivial porting fee that
Franz Inc. wants, this could become a reality in a short time.
Please reply ASAP if interested.
