LispWorks, the portable integrated development tool for ANSI Common
Lisp, is now developed, marketed and supported by LispWorks Ltd.
LispWorks Ltd, consisting of the former Xanalys Lisp team, is based in
Cambridge, England and will be solely focused on its Lisp products and
services.
LispWorks Ltd has acquired the rights to all of Xanalys's Lisp tools,
including LispWorks(R), Liquid Common Lisp(R), KnowledgeWorks(R),
Common SQL(TM) and LispWorks ORB(TM). The new company has also secured
a long-term contract for the supply of Lisp products and services to
Xanalys. LispWorks Ltd will honor Xanalys Lisp maintenance and support
contracts and will continue to offer discounts on license upgrades.
LispWorks director Dave Fox commented that "Lisp has proved to be a
resilient language since the 1960s, and we've seen a growing and
enthusiastic user base while working with Xanalys. LispWorks Ltd is
dedicated to providing the world's best Lisp tools and service to
match."
"Our objectives are to provide continuity of service for all LispWorks
and Liquid Common Lisp customers and continue the market penetration
started by Xanalys with competitive pricing and outstanding services."
Q1 2005 will bring:
* An improved and rebranded LispWorks 4.4 distributed free of charge
to all LispWorks 4.4 customers
* The release of LispWorks 4.4 on UNIX platforms
* The release of LispWorks 4.4 Personal Edition
* Continuity of service for LispWorks and Liquid Common Lisp customers
* A roadmap for future products

Congratulations Dave, and good luck with the venture. May we
all continue to see Lispworks flourish.
We all wish you luck and will keep expecting more of the
stellar support to which we have become accustomed.
