It hasn't been ported yet. Someone asked about this at the Lisp Users and
Vendors conference last week. They said that they were investigating it,
waiting to see whether there's enough interest in it.
Meanwhile, Symbolics was showing off the beta version of Open Genera, their
port of Genera to the Alpha. It runs in an OSF/1 process, rather than
taking over the machine (last year they said they expected the initial
version to take over, so this bankrupt little company has done *more* than
they planned), so you still have full access to the Unix environment. They
said it will be released in September. It looked pretty nice, although the
beta version hung a few times in the demo room.

Harlequin's LispWorks is also in beta-release on the DEC Alpha. It was
demo-ed at AAAI this year. Contact ·················@harlequin.com or

Anyone care to post a summary of what was happening at LUV? I couldn't make it.
Thanks,
