Hi, I am about to build a tedious "user-friendly" interface to
some stupid university software, and need to select a lisp for use as
a macro-language in the system. I am aware of quite a few candidate 
lightweight lisp systems :
(a) Gnu Emacs Lisp from FSF
(b) SIOD lisp (and SIOD++) from UIUC
(c) LightLisp from UCB CAD tools
(d) Xlisp and Xscheme from BIX
(e) Mythical Andrew System embedded lisp (rumor only) from CMU

There may be others, I'd like to hear about them.

Does anyone have experience with using these or any other 
small lisp systems as embedded macro languages? 

For my use the system would need to be written in C or C++,
the source code free or cheap, and with few restrictions on re-distribution.
It would be nice if the code would run on nasty segmented intel
arches under Xenix or MSdos, but only BSD/SUNOS compatability is needed.

I suspect lots of people might be interested in this matter, so post
or mail direct as is your pleasure.

Cheers,
	Andy
