Recent versions of Sun Common Lisp (a Lucid derivative) has SunView support 
built into it, it would probably be wise to use the same routines names, etc
for compatibility.  Tim Freeman (tsf@theory.cs.cmu.edu) has written graphics 
packages for various versions of Common Lisp, he may have more details.
