Sorry, but the Commodore/Metacomco stuff is most emphatically NOT Common
Lisp.  It is based on something called "Standard Lisp" that originated at
the University of Utah. With some work (SMOP!) you could make it look super-
fically like Common Lisp, but the lack of lexical closures will keep it from
really being a Common Lisp.
