is there a delta document which describes
the changes from CLTL2 to ansi ?

(please don't flame me for this if you
can help it but if not i'll forgive you)
I have learning lisp on an ancient mac
with xlispplus and sometimes powerlisp

i am at point where i can read cltl2 some
but the hyperspec is too much for me.

i was thinking about trying to read through
some of the source for maxima but even though
they say it is pretty unchanged since late 80s
it is now requiring ansi officially. although
in debian they prefer gcl.

i won't try and tell you what my preferred
lisp is on unix/linux except to say it is not
mentioned much. have all those new versions:

i want to write pretty much portable code,
to test ideas, not so practical as production.
not good for me to say "written with clisp,
tested in sbcl, may/should work in others"
(substitute your own first and second choices).

i want to stay implementation independent.

my interests logic language (human) and
somethings to do with text (human).

plans to finish reading on lisp and try
to see if wordnet prolog interface can be
hooked up to access in lisp. to try
possible implement some logic i have been
reading. to create some abstractive data
base thingy (long chaotic story).

sorry no code of my own to share.
have hard time figuring out where to start.
this is not number crunching or accounting !

Chapter C of Paul Graham's "ANSI Common Lisp" is a six-page summary of 
the changes.
