Alas, I can't find that reference anymore. And I didn't actually try running lisp under 2.0 on the '030 cube, because (rather unexpectedly) all the pieces were in place for me to do the '040 upgrade almost immediately after I upgraded the OS. But I can tell you that the 1.0 version of CL doesn't run, and can't be rebuilt, once you've done both upgrades. I understand from NeXT that the '040-compatible version of CL will be shipping "within the NeXT week or so", but I haven't actually seen it. Franz has also assured me that new versions are just around the corner. But for the moment, if you have a substantial investment in lisp, don't upgrade your system! Steve Anderson
