Before NeXT decided to go software only I was analyzing CMUCL with the
intent of porting to NeXT 68k. Around that time I believe that CMUCL was
ported to Intel 486 (correct me if I am wrong). If this is so, a port to
NeXT on a 486 should not be too bad.
If someone with a NeXT 486 would like to try this I could point you to the
archives and code modules. If this works out I might consider reopening the
68k port.
Also note that I posted a patch to allow Allegro CL 3.1.20 to run under NS
3.x 68k.

CMU CL has not yet been ported to the Intel x86 as far as I know.
There is an outside group working on an x86 port under Linux, but
they're not too far along as yet. The CMU CL project is now defunct,
so we won't be doing such a port. We're all working on Dylan now.

Hows Dylan going? When will it be as good as CMUCL?
