Sun Common Lisp 4.0 (Lucid 4.0 + Sun stuff) Includes the distribution version
SOLO now called LispView. It is basically an interface to the C Xview library
with a CLOS wrapper on top. Looks like a nice system!

Now that Xview and OpenWindows have both been let out in source form to the
world in general, how soon 'til we see the LispView source? Sun?? Listening???
