The mag did a good job of describing it's strong & weak points, with comparisions of benchmarks, Atari vs Amiga. (Unfortunately the Amiga (with 512k) was 2X faster running Cambridge Lisp than the Atari (with 1meg)). I recently inquired of a dealer about Cambridge Lisp by Metacompco and was told that it was unavailable from the distributor. Upon attempting to call Metacompco directly, I discovered that their 800 & regular phone#'s have been disconnected. Is this another company that has "bit the dust"?? Xlisp is the only other Lisp that I am aware of that runs on the Atari, however STart mag (Spring 88) has a good review of 2 Prologs that are now available; MProlog (LogicWare 416-672-0300, $199.00, "HEFTY-HEFTY") & XPro (Rational Visions 602-846-0371, $39.95, "wimpy-wimpy") Dennis.....
