I am fooking for a free (preferrably open source) implemenation with the 
following features :

1. Multi-threading / Multi-processing.
2. Connectivity to MySql.


I currently use CLISP, but it does not have these features. Are there 
any add-ons for these features on CLISP?

Is there any other implementation which provides this "out of the box".

Thanks,
John.

try CMUCL.  I'm pretty sure that it supports these (though
out-of-the-box I can't be sure).

Oh...and it's the "most free" of all the CL implementations, AFAIK.

It does support multithreading (but only cooperative).  And for MySQL 
connectivity (and other useful libraries) have a look at 
http://ww.telent.net/cliki or http://www.lisp.org
