I'm looking for a lisp for Mac OS-X, preferably free.  I found
a commercial lisp called MCL, but when I went to Digitool's site,
I found that they still don't have a version for OS-X.  I tried
building gcl for OS-X beta a year ago, but had enough problems
with directories and libraries being in different places that
I gave up in frustration.

Help?

Thanks in advance!

Digitool are in the process of porting MCL to MacOS X. They claim that the
port will be ready when MacOS X ships (which Apple has scheduled for mid
March, so about 6 weeks). Whether Digitool releases port on time remains to
be seen, but there should be a Carbonized (i.e., MacOS X) MCL out pretty
soon.

This is fairly important since MCL will *not* run in Classic (i.e.,
compatability mode).
