Server: A full-featured, production-quality, HTTP 1.1 Compliant Web server=
 wholely written in Common Lisp is *freely* available from the following URL=
 at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.

Information: http://www.ai.mit.edu/projects/iiip/doc/cl-http/home-page.html

Q: Why might you care about this?

A: You might be interested in:

        * Minimizing the cycle time from conceptualization to market.=20
        (Cooler than being last to market!)

        * Generating all HTML interfaces on the fly.=20
        (Cooler than terabytes of legacy html!)

        * Synthesing JavaScript and Java  on the fly.=20
        (Cooler than typing it in by hand!)

	* Creating 3D VRML worlds on the fly.
	(Cooler than learning OpenInventor!)

	* Using an extensible presentation lattice
	to accept input or present output.
	(Cooler than duplicating endless input validators,
	and then getting a better idea!)=20

        * Developing complex or advanced Web applications.=20
        (Cooler than serving static files!)

        * Creating intelligent, knowledge-based Web sites.=20
        (Cooler than even an "Active-X enchanced" site!)=20

Language: Common Lisp is a dynamic, object-oriented programming language=
 that is used to develop and deploy leading-edge applications in university,=
 government, and business settings.  This highly flexible and evolvable=
 language has been typically used to develop large and complex artificial=
 intelligence or natural languagge understanding systems.  These kindsof=
 power programming tools are becoming increasingly relevant  for  Web=
 developers as ever more is required in ever less time.

Platforms: The server presently runs with full source-compatibility on the=
 following platforms:

        * Macintosh (MCL - Comes on the CD)

        * UNIX (Allegro, LispWorks, Lucid) (Many flavors, including SunOS,=
 Solaris, SGI, OSF)

	* Windows NT (Allegro) (Several new Lisps currently being tuned for NT).=20

        * Lisp Machines (Symbolics 8.3, Open Genera 1.0)

Additional ports are underway.

Reality: This server was the first known HTTP 1.1 implementation last=
 August, and has subsequently
been through a second release cycle. Also included in the distribution are a=
 program-level
client with 1.0 persistent connections, an HTML parser, and a=
 constraint-based web walker. =20
Snap up this opportunity now before the next release add new modules to the=
 learning curve.
