Hi,

Digitool offers the beta version of MCL for OS X. Has
anybody worked with this Lisp version already?

Thomas,

A lot of people have.  The best source of information and
discussion that I have found is the "Info-MCL Mailing List."
You can find subscription information here:

http://www.digitool.com/contact.html

Best regards,

Bob

Thank you -- and the others who replied -- for the
answer. I did not know the mailing list.

But when asking a question like this one, Usenet
seems to offer the best forum. (At least as starting
point.)

Yes, and I can recommend it.

Well I used it too, I agree with a slight remark. there are quite
some places where I have thought "It's work in progress, not the final
stuff", things which makes me stumble a bit
Unix conventions for file-names are not implemented? 
The message boxes don't look polished (to small margins etc) 
the controls supported seem to me just the base line. 
The documentation I use is still from 4.3.x I would appriciate an
update

Anyway it seems to be stable...

Friedrich
