=========================================================================

I will be pleased to here peoples opinion about IBM:s LISP/VM.
We have it, but not many seems to be interested in it. I like it,
so what is wrong with LISP/VM? What is good with it?
We have LISP/VM to the end of this year, not longer, if it do not
interest people more (I am afraid of ..).

Unfortunately LISP/VM is not very compatible with Common Lisp and its
usually slow in our IBM 3083 VM/CMS, but it has many usefull features.
Becouse I am no Lisp Guru I would like to get the opinions of those
who are. I know that LispGurus usually reside near a Lispmachine
/Xerox etc.) and they do not appreciate mainframe lisps. So may be
a vain effort ..
                Yours sincerely, Heikki Pesonen, EDP-Centre,
