      Unfortunately, the support I've received from XEROX was short of
   pathetic;  All their branch offices knew nothing about anything about 
   any LOOPS programming language, and referred me to their documentation
   division, who said basically, "If you don't have the inventory number
   for that manual, then don't bother us."  This is from an business
   organization that SELLS products?!?

Yeah well, that's one of the reasons Xerox got out of the Lisp
business. Fortunately, someone else took over from them, namely Venue.
They can be reached by calling (800)-228-5325, or by sending mail to 
aisupport.mv@envos.xerox.com. You can send questions on LOOPS to
either that address or to the info-1100 mailing list, address
info-1100@cis.ohio-state.edu, which is more likely to have LOOPS users
than the CLOS mailing list.

LOOPS won't run in MuLISP, but it does run in the DOS release of
Medley, currently in beta test. I can't remember what the educational
price is right now, but I'm sure someone at Venue can.
