Umm, drawing upon (notoriously unreliable) memory, I have the impression that
Metacomco aren't doing Cambridge Lisp any more. They used to supply an ST
version of a C compiler which has been picked up since by Hisoft in the UK. I
will ask them if they picked up the Cambridge Lisp distribution as well. Hisoft
are a good quality outfit, they are (sole?) distributors (importers?) of the
Spectre GCR in the UK. I'll pass on the details when/if I get them. Anyone else
who is interested in the current state of Cambridge Lisp, keep an eye on
responses in the notestring.
