	With moves towards standardization of X, what is the status of
lisp based windowing environments? Specifically:

	o What is XCL and who supports it?

	o What is CLUE and who supports it?

	o Is Common Windows dead? If not what new work is being done?

	o Are there any products which support a better window development
          (for creating window based interfaces, not developing in windows)
          environment across platforms? I have heard of Y windows from ILA.

	o Which major lisp vendor provides the best support for developing
          window based interfaces? How do they compare? 

Answers to these questions would be greatly appreciated, as there seems to be
much confusion in this area.
