We are interested in possibly using micro explorers in a distrbuted system.
When one communicates with a microsexplorer, does it behave like an explorer or
a mac?

In related questions, I also wonder if anybody can answer the following
questions:

+ does graphics code written on an Explorer using the graphics system work on
  a microexplorer?

+ does code (outside of graphics code) written on an Explorer work well on a
  Sun with Lucid commonlisp?

+ does a symbolics board for a sun provide any advantage over a sun without
  a symbolics board? (ie. does it process lisp code better, and if so, how much
  better?)

+ Are there any intricacies in communicating between a combination of any of
  the following: Explorers, Symbolics, Suns, Microexplorers.

					Thank you.
