	While perusing various archive sites, I ran across (several times) a
file called oaklisp.tar.Z. Having never heard of an oaklisp package, I'm
curious, but I don't want to ftp a 1.8Mb tar file to find out. Could someone
enlighten me as to what this package is?

Oaklisp is an object-oriented, extended Scheme written by Kevin Lang
and Barak Pearlmutter (or vice versa) at CMU.  It's written in C,
using a bytecoded virtual machine architecture.

Oaklisp is an object oriented scheme w/ first class types.  Everything
is an object!  Nicely done.  I seem to recall that it is faster than
CScheme but slower than T.  It was written by Barak Pearlmutter and
Kevin Lang? who are grad students at CMU.  There was a paper about
Oaklisp in the OOPSLA 86 conference proceedings.  Everything needed to
get it running is in the tar file.  If you want to biuld a new world
file you will have to get T running.
