Anyone interested in a Xt-equivalent Common  Lisp toolkit should take a  look at
CLUE.

CLUE is a portable system for user interface programming in Common Lisp.   CLUE,
which is based on the X Window System and the Common Lisp Object System  (CLOS),
extends the CLX interface to provide an architectural model for the construction
of interactive  Lisp  applications.   Modelled  on  the Xt toolkit library, CLUE
could be described as a  translation of the Xt  "intrinsics" into the domain  of
Common Lisp and CLOS.

A portable implementation of the  Common Lisp User Interface  Environment (CLUE)
is now available  in the  public domain.   Anyone interested  may receive source
code and  documentation  via  anonymous  ftp  from CSC.TI.COM, (internet address
10.7.0.46) in pub/clue.tar.Z.  Better  yet, CLUE files  are also in  the contrib
directory of X11 R3.

This implementation of CLUE (Version 1.15) may be installed without change in TI
Explorer and Symbolics environments.  Other  configurations are in progress  but
have not yet been fully tested.  Bug reports and fixes are welcome and should be
addressed to one of the following  addresses.  The standard X bug  report format
is nice and is preferred.

We encourage comments from anyone interested in Lisp user interface programming.
General  comments   and   CLUE   issue   discussion   should   be   addressed to
