There was a good review on Cambridge Lisp for the Atari in the Feb. 1987 issue
of AI EXPERT (pgs. 67 - 70). The mag did a good job of describing it's strong &
weak points, with comparisions of benchmarks, Atari vs Amiga. (Unfortunately the
Amiga (with 512k) was 2X faster running Cambridge Lisp than the Atari (with
1meg)).

I recently inquired of a dealer about Cambridge Lisp by Metacompco and was told
that it was unavailable from the distributor.  Upon attempting to call
Metacompco directly, I discovered that their 800 & regular phone#'s have been
disconnected.

Is this another company that has "bit the dust"??

Xlisp is the only other Lisp that I am aware of that runs on the Atari, however
STart mag (Spring 88) has a good review of 2 Prologs that are now available;
MProlog (LogicWare 416-672-0300, $199.00, "HEFTY-HEFTY") & XPro (Rational
Visions 602-846-0371, $39.95, "wimpy-wimpy")
