Does anyone know what is happening to Harlequin LISP (I know the name has
changed)?
We use this version and are happy with it but it has been a long time since
improvements were made. I would consider a change to another LISP but the
free run time for Harlequin LISP makes life much simpler for us. Being able
to produce software for distribution without worries is a big positive
point.

Maybe you should ask Xanalys (which are now the home of LispWorks).
Contact information should be available on their web site:

Changed to Xanalys (www.xanalys.com).

The last patches to LWW4.1 were released in February (patch bundle 19).
There have been comments from Xanalys about a new major release coming (I
think in this newsgroup, but also elsewhere), but no timeframe for it yet.
Support is still very active and is excellent (IMHO).

This is a big plus for us too.
