	I have a version of CMU's OPS5 in LISP by Forgy.  The dialect
	is Franz, the code goes on for pages, and you'd have to use a
	C compiler that wasn't bounded by a 64K limitation to build
	XLISP to even come close to running that if that's what people
	are talking about.  

	I have toyed with the idea of making a cut-down version of it
	for years, but never had the time.

	(BTW, anybody got one of the OPS5s for CP/M or MS-DOS that were
	sold many moons ago they'd like to sell me ?  Is there a news
	conference for OPS5 anyplace ?  Dylan ?)

	Regards,
	rcs

Well, I don't know about "people" but that was what I was asking about. (-:
The code from Forgy is about 100K (including comments).  But I believe
the XLISP-PLUS does not have the 64K limit.

You are right about the Franz LISP.  But as i also mentioned, there is
a Common LISP version that was done at CMU.

I have tried, without success to find one.

Finally, I have heard that CMU has produced something called Para-OPS
which is supposed to be a "parellel"version.  I believe the source code is C.
Has anyone heard about that?

Cheers,
