Hello,
Does anyone out there know if there is/will be any commercial
Common Lisps (or any other dialects, CL preferred, however)
for OS/2 2.0? If not yet, then will there be such a product some
day?
Hopefully this question reaches both Franz Inc and Luzid.
Thanks for help,

Procyon sell an OS/2 implementation of CL. They also developed a
Windows 3 version which has now become the new Franz Allegro CL\PC.
From the Lisp FAQ, part 4:
Procyon Common Lisp runs on either the Apple Macintosh or IBM PC
(386/486 or OS/2 native mode), costing 450 pounds sterling
(educational),
1500 pounds ($795) commercial. It requires 2.5mb RAM on the Macintosh
and
^^^^^^
actually $2250 commercial, $675 educational
4mb RAM on PCs (4mb and more than 4mb recommended respectively).
It is a full graphical environment, and includes a native CLOS with
meta-object protocol, incremental compilation, foreign function
interface, object inspector, text and structure editors, and debugger.
