I've made an innocent stab, making some easy changes in some LOW.LISP code and in some DEFSETF's, but have bumped into changes in environment representations that bother the walker code. Am I wandering into a swamp here? As Trent Lange says in his reply, and assuming that MACs are what you want to be with in the long run, I would think this would be the way you want to go. Right now, the newest PCL is the most conforming implementation of the MOP, and its pretty efficient to boot. (Although its certainly less efficient than the Apple 2.0 CLOS.) Unless Apple has changed things dramatically, getting the new PCL running in MCL 2.0 shouldn't take too much work. You may even be able to get someone at Apple to help you do it. Gregor
