I'm sure that the following questions have been asked before, but I've
been unable to find the answers, and I'd appreciate it if someone could
help me out and mail this information to me:

(1) What is the most common Lisp interface to X in a Unix-Workstation
environment (from what I've heard, I assume it's CLX)

(2) How complete, efficient, and fast is the Lisp interface to X as
compared to the C interface (Xlib, etc..).  What are the pros and cons
of writing an X interface in Lisp as opposed to making foreign function
calls from Lisp to C functions which handle the X interface?

(3) Where could I find documentation/information on the Lisp interface
to X and how to use it?

(4) What's the best way to obtain this Lisp interface to X and get it
running on either a VAXstation or a Sun?

Thanks for any and all help!
Dave Miller.
