as  far as i  know   the definitive place  to   pick up  kcl  is  from
rascal.ics.utexas.edu.  check out the akcl (improved kcl) stuff.

as for kcl or akcl  running on the  next machine, there is the problem
of getting the dynamic object loading code to work with mach.   i have
no idea how difficult that is to do.

if i  remember my  tests of a little over  a year ago, x11r4  beta clx
demos using franz on the next were faster than ones using  akcl on the
sparcstation.

we would love to see kcl running  on the nexts  though, and the athena
services, and x11r4, and well anyway...
