Hi,

We are involved in the construction of user interfaces for expert systems.
For the expert-systems and the dialogue part of the interface, we would like to use 
Allegro Common lisp. For the presentation part of the interface, we are in doubt.
Or we use the (rather basic) Common Windows toolkit of Allegro, running on X, or we
use a more advanced toolkit, and in the first place we thought to use ATK. In the
latter case however, we envisage the problem of combining ATK and Allegro Common
Lisp. Has anyone significant experience in a) the use of ATK in a Lisp image, b) the
use of lisp in a ATK, or c) (generally) the interaction between an ATK application and
a Lisp image ?

Thanks.
