CMU Common Lisp also generates C but takes a slightly different approach. If you have mmap (Sun, OSF, BNR2 all do) it will do its own dynamic loading. For anyone who gets tired of waiting 15 seconds for their first listener prompt, this can be a huge performance win. If you have more than one lisp programmer per CPU it's a hands-down, 100% win. KCL is good and it was first. CMU-CL is better, in my opin. -- Paul Vixie Redwood City, CA <paul@vix.com> decwrl!vixie!paul
