In response to Stumpy:

  CLOS is the Common Lisp Object Standard and Common Windows is the
  Franz product providing a common window interface across a number of
  different platforms.  Will these two componets be included in the
  Franz lisp available on the NeXT?  Will Common Windows be CLOS based?
  And, will a developer be able to integrate Common Windows within the
  NeXT Step development environment?
  
Franz Inc.'s Allegro CL will include an up to date version of Portable
Common Loops (the precursor to a full CLOS implementation).  A true
CLOS implementation will come in a later release.  Allegro Common
Windows will not be included.  There will be extensive integration
between Allegro CL, Objective C and NeXTStep.
