I don't, but this does remind me of a question I've been wanting to ask:

The other day I was at a local Amiga store (a very bad, disreputable store;
they almost managed to talk me out of an Amiga in the process of selling me
one long ago... luckily I found another store) and on a remainder table was
a package claiming to be Amiga LISP.  It looked like a Commodore package, 
white with the Amiga checkmark and the font we're used to seeing on things
like the Enhancer package.  It said it reqired v1.0 Kickstart, one A-1000,
and one A-1010 external drive (maybe some other stuff too), and was marked
down from about $130 to about $100 (WHAT a deal...).  The package (not 
really a box even) looked too flat to contain many disks much less any 
great amount of documentation. 

Anyway, I'd never heard of Commodore producing a LISP for the Amiga before.
Not that I'm excessively interested in LISP, but it was kinda odd to see.

Can anyone tell me much about this?
