After receiving several comments concerning LISP on the Amiga, it seems
that there are really only two LISPs, AmigaLISP and XLISP.  AmigaLISP
is supposed to be slow and buggy; XLISP has produced good results (even
on rather large programs - i.e. several thousand lines).  XLISP programs
have also been easily ported from the Amiga to Common LISP with only
minor modifications.  I am now using XLISP 2.0 (the newest I can find)
and have good results so far, expect that I am having trouble
finding a good editor for LISP.  Someone recommended stvi, which matches
parentheses and is like VI, which I would rather steer away from on
the Amiga.
