   First, how badly will I regret attempting to get PCL working in MACL 2.0?  
   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.
