Hello, All!

did you know that (runtime of) Allegro Common Lisp is included in Microsoft 
Visual Studio .NET 2003?!
:)
well, it's not Microsoft who writes Common Lisp -- they use 
JavaLanguageConversionAssistant (which converts Java to J# i suspect) from 
ArtinSoft:

E:\...o .NET 2003\JavaLanguageConversionAssistant>JConvert.exe
Microsoft (R) Java Language Conversion Assistant Version 7.10.2274.0
Copyright (C) 2000-2002 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Portions Copyright (C) ArtinSoft S.A. Portions (C) Franz Inc. All rights 
reserved.

inside we see acl5016.dll and 65-mb VJToDotNet.img

(in vs 2005 this conversion assistant is written with something else)

With best regards, Alex 'killer_storm' Mizrahi.

Patrick Dussud is one of the main designers of the .NET platform (I 
don't know what exact parts though). He is an old-time Lisp hacker. For 
example, he was involved in the CLOS standardization and in one of the 
first CLOS implementations.
