Xerox might be out of the machine gig, but their software platform (Medley) is still on the market, sold/supported by Venue, and in fact a lot faster on stock hardware. And some of us are glad for that...:-). But, to go back to the original question, I think the waters are muddied a tad by the fact that Lisp is still pretty strong outside the US, and the external markets haven't crested the wave yet, it seems. I've also seen a couple job offers for Lispers on misc.jobs.offered, mostly looking for CLOS hackers these days, and the frequency seems to be the same as it was a couple of years ago. ...arun Info-1100-request@cis.ohio-state.edu :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arun Welch Lisp Systems Programmer, Lab for AI Research, Ohio State University welch@cis.ohio-state.edu
