Le Lisp is a small, old Lisp, which I've seen only on a Macintosh.  There's
no point in detailing the differences between it and Common Lisp; there's no
similarity beyond their both being Lisps.
	I was asked to port an object system written in Le Lisp to Common
Lisp, and refused.  It was much easier to port Portable Common Loops, which
is a great object system, nearly an implementation of the CLOS standard,
almost written in Common Lisp, and free.  You may be able to ftp it from my
~flash/pcl; if not, let me know by Saturday morning, and I'll try to mail
it.  (After that I'm moving to the States.)
