I didn't see the original request for information on Macintosh Lisps.
A few weeks back I had posted a request for information on PC Common
Lisps, and didn't get very much in the way of a response (but thanks
to the two readers who did reply) -- looks like no-one out there is
using Common Lisp on a PC.

However, in the course of my information seeking, I came across
another Mac Common Lisp, from a company called Procyon in Cambridge,
UK (would you believe that no-one in the UK carries Allegro Common
Lisp)?  Here's a quick resume of the Procyon offering:

-	full Common Lisp
-	incremental native-code compiler
-	high level support for windows, menus and graphics
-	programmable text editor (ie an Emacs-clone)
-	structure editor
-	window-based debugger
-	trace and breakpoint facility
-	profiler
-	spelling corrector

It costs L345 (L = UK pounds) for the software; you need 2Mb or more
of memory, and they'll sell you a memory upgrade kit (2Mb) for L595;
they do the memory upgrade and the software packaged together for
L775.

You can reach Procyon as follows:

Procyon Research Ltd
Block B
Westbrook Centre
Milton Road
Cambridge CB4 1YQ
UK
Tel: +44 223 65011
Email:  procyon@uk.ac.ucl.cs.nss

Disclaimer:  I have no connections whatsoever with this company,
except that I've spoken to them on the phone (and was reasonably
impressed), and am considering using their Common Lisp for a project.
If you want more information on the product, contact them, not me!
