Has anyone out there used the AmigaLisp package?  I purchased
my Amiga about a month ago, but held off from AmigaLisp until I had
heard more.  So far, I don't know of any other Lisp implementation
except for XLISP 1.6.

What's AmigaLisp like?  Is it similar to Common Lisp, MacLisp, or is
it some funny dialect altogether?  What I'd really like is a version
of Scheme, a rather nifty lexically-scoped version of Lisp.  Unfor-
tunately, no such animal exists yet for Amiga (to my knowledge) but
it shouldn't be too hard to build one on top of a nice Common Lisp.

Any review or advice (Email, please) is appreciated.  Thanks.
