         [Reprinted from the Info-Graphics discussion list.]

Folks who don't have >$60K to spend on a Lisp Machine may want to
consider Utah's Portable Standard Lisp (PSL) running on the Apollo 
workstation.  Apollo PSL has been distributed for several months now.
PSL is a full Lisp implementation, complete with a 68000 Lisp
compiler.  The standard distribution also comes with a wide range of
utilities.

PSL has been in use at Utah for almost a year now and is supporting 
applications in computer algebra (the Reduce system from Rand), VLSI 
design and Computer aided geometric design.

In addition, the Apollo implementation of PSL comes with a large and
easily extensible system interface package.  This provides easy,
interactive access to the resident Apollo window package, graphics
library, process communication system and other operating system
services.

If you have any questions about the system, feel free to contact me

        JW-PETERSON@UTAH-20 (arpa) or
