Hi,
  I've ftp'd a copy of Xlisp (version 2.1d) to my local machine and compiled
it.  I'm not sure about the status of this version of lisp, though.  Can
anybody tell me: is it ``industrial strength'' -- i.e. is it bug-free enough
that this version would actually be used by anybody?  In particular, does it
make sense to try to teach lisp using this version (in my introductory AI
course here at Mines)?
  Thanks.
