Is it possible/reasonable/a good idea to develop CL appliations over
CLX?  In particular, if I had a Sun running Franz lisp with CLX, and
another workstation running an X server (shouldn't that be client?), could the
remote site be set up to edit and test code, or is CLX designed mainly
as a delivery vehicle for applications?

Also, has anyone used both CLX and Coral/Allegro on the Mac?  How similar
are the windowing environments?  Coral uses Object LISP.  Does/can CLX
use CLOS in a similar way?

Thanks in advance for any info or pointers.
