A correction here: the most recent version of ACL for the NeXT is
still 3.1.20. This is compatible with the corresponding version on
Suns, and largely similar to Lucid CL of the same vintage - but
different in important ways from Lucid (and Allegro) CL 4.x. The main
difference is that both Lucid and Allegro include (slightly different
versions of) CLOS in their 4.x implementations. Franz has apparently
all but finished ACL 4.1 for NeXT, but hasn't seen fit to release it
yet :-(  Until they do, case sensititvity may be the least of your
problems in porting Sun CL code to the NeXT.
