This is true.

   Finally, 32 bit lisp!!!!

"Allegro CL/PC 1.0" was a 32-bit lisp, as is "Allegro CL 2.0 for
Windows".  The latter is a win32 app (win32 didn't exist when 1.0 was
done).

Right. I would be nice to know however that 64-bit lisps will not arrive 
much later than IRIX 6.0 (already running with 64-bit C and FORTRAN on
SGI Challenge). 
Also, that they will take advantage of the superscalar design of the
MIPS R8000 and the upcoming Power PC chips.

Hopefully,
