As part of a distributed systems project that we are currently developing,
we require a Lisp for the Macintosh.  Are there any good systems readily
available? 

Requirements
   o  Reasonably `powerful' lisp implementation

   o  Access to the Macintosh toolbox

   o  Access to routines written in other languages
      e.g.  network routines written in C

   o  Ability to `dump' snapshots of an environment.
      i.e. generate new load bands

We have a copy of MacScheme 1.01.  Are the more recent versions any better?

I have heard mention of ExperLISP, has anyone had experience with this
product?  Is it any good?

I also noticed in a recent Byte  ExperCommonLISP -- Is this a separate
product or a development of the above?  Is it a full CommonLisp
implementation?

What else is available?

Repies by Email please.  I will summarise to the net if there is 
interest.

Thanks
Mark
