Porting to X

I'm beginning to port a large application from the Symbolics to the X
windows environment.  Since I have little desire or experience to
port the code to CLX directly, I want to investigate packages built
on top of CLX (for Lisp, naturally), that support CLOS.  Also, because
the application may be used commercially, I am shying away from
packages that restrict licensing (such as Garnet).  Fortunately, the
application does not depend on special features of Flavors, so I would
expect that I will use pretty standard, simple features of CLOS.  My
interest in using a package on top of CLX is to make managing windows
and controls simpler, eventhough the application has a pretty simple
interface for now.

I would also like a package that is supported over
other architectures, particularly for the Mac (or the Mac running X,
if not supported otherwise).  The Mac is my next step.

I imagine this is not a unique situation.  I would greatly appreciate
any suggestions from people who have done this, those who have thought
about doing this, and even from those who think now about thinking
about doing this.

Please respond directly by e-mail at kaye@gradient.cis.upenn.edu.

Thanks in advance!
