Hi!

I'm new to this newsgroup and the the language LISP. Could someone who
knows more about various interpreters comment on the XLISP for the PC
(and various other computers). From the instructions it looks alright
for learning the language, but since I've never used LISP before, I
wouldn't know a bad LISP interpreter if I saw one.

Thanks in advance,

Well, I have XLISP on my PC, but haven't had ample opportunity to use it
yet so I can't really give you an overview of the language.  I do have a
suggestion that may help you, though.  There is another newsgroup called
"comp.lang.lisp.x" that is dedicated, specifically, to XLISP .  If you 
were to re-post this message to that group you would be more likely to get 
responses.  Good Luck.
				May your logic bugs be minimized,
