Summary: Metacomco is more or less Common Lisp

Metacomco/Commodore lisp is a dialect of common lisp (more or less).  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.
