i have a query with me
        actually iam working with interleaf lisp. where i found the
need of multithreading concept
and when i asked for it.. there were mixed reactions?
       however can anybody answer me about how to implement threading
concept in lisp if that concept is present in lisp..
       otherwise how to overcome it
regards

You can overcome it writing a multi-threaded virtual machine, and a
compiler for your multi-threaded lisp source to this multi-threaded
virtual machine.

Or perhaps asking the nice people at CLISP to add threads to their virtual
machine...

Would that really help much for InterLeaf? If nothing's changed
recently, that's a fairly old DTP system (I guess; FrameMaker
competition, anyway), that's been around longer than CLISP.

I guess it's possible they've gone to CLISP, but unlikely.
