Hello,

I'd like to use the Graphics Library in a LISP program
(specifically Mac Common LISP).  Can anyone direct me to
where I can find info on doing this (documentation, source code, etc.)?
Thanks very  much.

 -Karen

Err, Mac Common LISP does not run on SGI, nor is the GL available on
the Mac.  What exactly are you trying to do?

There are several common lisps available for SGI, including but not
limited to Allegro CL (Franz Inc.), Lucid, and KCL.  I know Allegro
has a GL interface, I'm not sure about the others.

  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

But take into account the following conversation I had with Franz Inc.:

So if you get some "undefined function" error you'll know why.
If you want to run your program on non-SGI machines, check the LGL package (like
GL, but in LISP).
