=====================================================================

What is ESL?

ESL is a company of approximately 2000 in Sunnyvale, CA.  (The name
used to mean Electromagnetic Systems Laboratory.)  In ESL's 26 years
of business, we have established ourselves as excellent engineers of
high-performance, high-technology, special-purpose, communications
systems, signal processing systems, data reduction systems, and
intelligence handling systems.  We process all signals in the
spectrum, and make sense of most of it.  We work primarily for the US
Government.

Who am I?  Who are we?

I am Sam Hahn, a department manager and program manager in one of the
ESL ATSD laboratories, the Advanced Intelligence Applications
Technology (AIAT) laboratory.  This laboratory consists of
approximately two dozen staff (growing monthly) whose history since
1982 has been development and delivery of successful
expert-system-based, advanced user-interface, distributed,
multi-media, multi-source, and database oriented intelligence analysis
workstations.  We have grown from a handful of people in 1982 to teams
ranging in size from two to two dozen.

Our mix of expertise includes, and is certainly not limited to: Lisp,
C, (Transact-)SQL, NeWS, X, OpenWindows, Unix, Mach, NextStep,
PostScript, C++, Sun, NeXT, Symbolics, Xerox, Pixar, Vitec, Parallax
Graphics, CLOS, PCL, Objective-C, KEE, ART, Mercury, natural language
processing, free-text database, multi-media databases, geographic
information systems, image processing, distributed computing, ... (and
others which I will be embarrassed later I didn't cite).  In specific,
there are two subsystems to my current project which are implemented
in Lisp.  One is a document analysis tool, the other a smart
database-cognizant "stuffer" tool. Other components to the total
system are implemented in C and Objective-C,
