I can't think of one (unless you're referring to T or > Scheme which are more or less lisp, a lot closer than Prolog or > Smalltalk anyhow.) No need to make an exception for T; it generates native machine code. Also no need to call Scheme "more or less lisp"; it *is* a lisp. The invention of Common Lisp did not suddenly "unlispify" all previous lisps. -- Mike Coffin mike@arizona.edu Univ. of Ariz. Dept. of Comp.
