I have an ANCIENT version (JAN 86 - v1.0) of this, but haven't had any problems with it. I would upgrade, but I just bought it to play with, so that isn't a pressing need. I suspect that the version currently available is much better. If you decide to go this route, I would appreciate a note letting me know what is in the package (if it is vastly improved, I'll have to dig up the cash for an upgrade). The only irritating thing about this lisp (mildly since I don't do it often) is that system calls are a real pain in the a** to implement. I tried for a while, then gave up. ( I didn't really try very hard :-) Hope that this helps. > Jim Berry John. -- John G.
