Then I got out my trusty old "GLISP User's Guide" by Gordan S. Novak Jr. It also is a generalized Lisp which runs over a variety of Lisp platforms. I do not know if it has been ported to Common Lisp. "GLISP provides both Pascal-like and English-like syntakes...." Wouldn't it be nice if we would not have to reuse existing names? Of course, that is a difficult problem. It's nice to see that "MLisp" keeps its meaning in <10552@goofy.Apple.COM>. This is like when Lucid, I believe, reinvented QLisp, not knowing that it was a famous AI language from their neighborhood well known in the Lisp/AI domain. Oh well! No flames intended. -- Ralph P.
