[To start with, a disclaimer. These are my thoughts and opinions, not those
of Venue or OSU.]

The big news at the Venue booth was the demo of Medley running on DOS. Release
date, if memory serves, is 9/15, but they're looking for beta testers now.  As
usual, it's binary compatible with all the other releases of Medley. A Mac
port is due out soon too.

Symbolics was showing their new processor.

Lucid was showing XLT, their development environment. It's missing lots of
functionality that Medley users would be used to, personally I would find
it easier to use one of the emacs interfaces to tty-based lisps.

Franz bought up Procyon recently, so they were showing off their Lisp for DOS.

Harlequin was showing Transducer, which converts code for workstations to
Windows code, if I'm reading their flyer right. I didn't get a chance to
see the demo.

Ibuki recently licensed PC-Scheme from TI, and are now the folks supporting it.
IMHO, this is a good thing for Lisp in general.

On the whole, it was a much smaller show than in previous years. The weird
thing for me was that the language vendors (Lisp, Prolog) got a whole lot
more people going through than the shell folks.
