I believe that Allegro Common Lisp comes standard on the NeXT
machine, presumably including both (Old) Flavors and the new
standard Common Lisp Object System (CLOS). Other Common Lisp
implementations are no doubt available for the NeXT also - major
platforms typically offer several to choose from. You may want to
get a software maintenance contract, though, to ensure receiving
the performance enhancements most Common Lisp vendors will deliver
in the coming months.

Does "Allegro" mean the Coral one or the Franz Inc. one?
I find that whenever I say "Allegro" to refer to one of
them some people assume I meant the other one.

Coral (now Apple) Allegro runs only under MacOS.
Franz Allegro runs on UN*X. (This includes A/UX unless you escape to
the MacOS backdoor.)
Unfortunately the languages are not exactly the same ....

Coral Software only sold Common Lisp for the Macintosh, I
believe. In fact, Coral was absorbed by Apple Computer last
year. Its product may even have been renamed Apple Common Lisp, I
think.
