1) Are there any plans to eliminate the AT&T code from MACH, and thus
   escape the AT&T licensing requirements?  In what time frame?   (Will
   AT&T sue?)

2) Could someone summarize the availability of Common LISP systems under
   MACH?  At Cornell, people have been using Lucid and Allegro common
   lisp, with recent interest in Harlequin because it apparently comes
   closer to the symbolics environment.  Whats the picture under MACH?
   Without a widely acceptable LISP, Cornell will resist switching to
   MACH, needless to say...
