[I sent out two previous messages about this, but appear to have botched the
address, so here goes again:]

Multi-sync monitors:
 My mono monitor has given up the ghost (or at least become comatose), so I've
 decided to look into getting a multi-sync monitor instead.  I've heard that
 the NEC Multisync-II and some Sony monitor will work, once the right wires
 have been plugged into the right places, but I've also been told to watch out,
 in case a monitor doesn't handle the signals the ST puts out.  How many
 monitors are actually compatible with the ST.  Does someone (hello, Atari?)
 have a list of monitors known to work with the ST?  (hope, hope) In particular
 I'm looking at an economical model put out by Samsung under the Imtec label
 (sorry, no model number, just `multi-sync'), which may or may not be the same
 as its slightly higher-priced brother, the Samsung CN4551.  Can anyone help on
 this, please?

LISP:
 On another note, I asked about this here before (about a year ago), but the
 answer may have changed in the meantime.  Does anyone know of a decent imple-
 mentation of Common LISP for the ST?  I've heard about Cambridge LISP (which
 is PSL, not Common, and therefore not as useful), XLISP, something from
 Robinson Engineering in the U.K., LeLisp, and something Sandra Loosemore (are
 you listening?) was working on a while ago.  Has the status of any of these
 changed?  Have new versions come out which I'm not aware of?

Sorry if either or both of these have come up recently in discussions.  We've
not received any ST netnews since the networm in November (or whenever).

Thanks in advance, David Forster
