The article says that ExperCommon Lisp is not Common Lisp. (Apparently ExperCommon Lisp doesn't include defstruct or full lexical closures.) The article doesn't mention Coral Common Lisp except to say that it is scheduled for 1987. There's an ad for Coral Common Lisp in the same issue of MacUser, but I don't know if they are actually shipping. > MacScheme comes off quite well in the review.

I'd very seriously consider buying it if could produce stand-alone applications. Does anyone know if that's in the cards? ---------- -- Jim Sasaki, CS dept., Upson Hall, Cornell Univ., Ithaca NY 14853 (jts@gvax.cs.cornell.edu, {decvax|uw-beaver|vax135|...}!cornell!jts)
