I just received Apple's Allegro Common Lisp tonight (1.2.2) and installed
it on my 2.5Mb Mac SE. I set its MultiFinder partition to 1800.
My problem is this: It crashes the system ROYALLY when I have SuperClock! 3.5
is installed. Any ideas on which program's fault it may be? SuperClock has a
clean record on my system.
My first question is: If I get CommonLOOPS, how much overhead does this
add--in terms of space and runtime--to running Allegro CL programs? Do I then
need 1.6Mb to load Allegro CL plus another 400K to load LOOPS?
Second: When will the manuals--which still have references to Coral Lisp
and 38 Addenda pages--be updated?
And lastly, I just heard that Apple will be releasing 1.3 next month...are
there any rumors about the upgrade cost (I hope that since I bought after
the upgrade announcement that I will be "grandfathered" in)?

Perhaps your problem is in the small multifinder partition. My copy has a
"suggested memory size" of 2048. I was under the impression that if you
set "application memory size" to less than "suggested memory size" all bets
were off. (If I'm wrong about this let me know - I'd love to have ACL and
hypercard both up at the same time on my 4 meg...).
I run ACL 1.2.2 with SuperClock! 3.5 all of the time and have had no
problems. I'm running on a IIcx, though, so perhaps there is an interaction
problem that's just on SEs...
