XLisp is marked as for non-commercial use only but all that really means is
that
I want to know about any commercial applications. I usually ask that some
credit
be given to XLisp in the documentation and that my copyright notice be
included
along with the copyright notice for the application. I also ask for a copy
of the
finished application so I can see how XLisp is being used.

P.S. XLisp 3.0 is based on Scheme and is a superset of R3RS. Earlier
versions
and ones from Tom Almy continue to be based on Common Lisp.

None of the above is a problem.

For the record, Tom Almy is calling his current version XLISP-PLUS 3.04.
Maybe he should call it XLisp-Classic :).
Tradeoffs appear to be that XLisp-Plus is known to port readily to OS/390,
and that the new XLisp uses a byte code interpreter.
