Does anyone know about software (preferably freeware) that allows Common
Lisp code to link with compiled java or C++ class libraries? I imagine
such a beast would use CLOS to present the imported class. 

Failing that, does anyone know about programs to translate C++ or java
source code into CL? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Mike Salib

Allegro CL for Linux is distributed for free if you follow their
license.  It has the FFI (foreign function interface) package wich
lets you interface with C and other languages.
