While I was at the AAAI show in PA last Aug.  I talked with a M. Roy
Broughton  Vice Pres. of Marketing at Act Informatique.  They have a 
product called Le_LISP that they where showing for the IBM-PC and MAC;
and apparently the Amiga.  Their very colorful brochure mentioned the
Amiga in a foot note but not in the main body.  It looked like a nice
product, was close to Common LISP compatable, and getting closer with
each new release.   Some features from the brochure:
* Large subset of Common LISP, Implemented on a virtual machine, 
* Le_lisp on MAC is faster then Franz on a Vax/780 (that does not say much :-)
* 15,000 functionsl including, real numbers strings, vectors, macros...
* Environment includes - Full screen editor (emacs like), pretty printer,
  full debugger and trace.....
And much much more....

I tried to get in touch with the Company once through an answering machine
in CA but with no success.  I will give the information here, perhapse 
if a few others inquire the  Company will look at the US-Amiga market in
a more agressive manner.

HAL hears the Amiga9000 series is not selling. "Please explain Dave. Why 
aren't Amiga9000's selling?" Bowman hesitates, "You aren't IBM compatible."
