How can I get the fact that I am running on a Mac in Allegro CL?
when I evaluate (machine-type) I get unknown back. Is this something
that is fixed in version 1.3?

For you MACL fans out there...
"Unknown" is pretty much what I would expect for MACL prior to 1.3 running
on, say, a Macintosh IIci or Portable. I believe that this is fixed in
1.3 and later versions of MACL (Macintosh Allegro Common Lisp).
BTW, before the flamethrowers start: this is information that might be
considered useful by a wide variety of Macintosh Allegro Common Lisp
users, which is why I'm posting rather than mailing the response. Before
any accusations that this is devolving into a MACL support board rather
than a Lisp newsgroup, bear in mind that there are many occassions where a
specific request for information regarding a particular implementation is
posted here, so if you intend to flame MACL questions/answers, at least be
consistent and also flame UNIX Allegro questions, Lucid questions,
AKCL/IBCL questions, etc. :-) Thanks!

Check for :CCL on the *features* list.
