Yep on (a) and (c). I've written code in Franz Allegro Common Lisp to control an edit server based on EZ. The lisp code basically makes CLOS-concealed RPC calls, over an INET socket, to the edit server, which performed editing operations. Worked OK, but I found the RPC solution rather clumsy for an editor. I'd be interested in hearing from someone who has linked or loaded runapp into a Lisp image, and used foreign function calls to call ATK. Bill
