I find a description of VAX LISP in my DEC Direct Software Edition
that confuses me a bit.  Are both VAX LISP/VMS and VAX LISP/ULTRIX
the same product (like VMS C and Ultrix vcc)?

Does anyone have any experience with VAX LISP/ULTRIX?  Is it close
to a good implementation of Common Lisp?  (The standard hasn't been
approved, right?  But is it close to where the standard is headed?)

Oh yeah, if you have used VAX LISP/ULTRIX and know of a text that
would work in an introductory course that follows this LISP closely...
well that would be *wonderful*.

Thanks,
