Ah, no, it isn't, and neither is the shareware PowerLisp (although PowerLisp
seems a bit closer to CLTL2 than Xlisp.)
Sorry to mislead, but MCL (although ca.$500: anyone know current price?)
Is one of the best CommonLisp implementations around, so although there
is no free lisp for Mac, the Mac version of CommonMusic is the most
complete implementation around! It includes a nifty graphic UserInterface,
(for those who feel better that way...), and if you also have the (NOT FREE,
but excellent) Code Warrior C compiler, you can use CommonLispMusic with
CommonMusic.

The Clisp Common Lisp implementation is quite appealling to me, being free,
available for (sigh) DOS, and very stable. Y.M.M.V., this is all just my opinion, etc. etc. etc.

PS: for those non-lispers "CLTL2" refers to Guy Steele's "Common Lisp the Language 2nd ed., the de facto definition of the CommonLisp language. Also the
best written technical language spec. I have ever (had to) read. (Which, admittedly isn't saying much...).

And I still say to the teacher from UNCG (lovely area there...had a friend who taught Guitar there as a"visiting artist"..now's he's a early musician in London:
all things change....)
GO TO LINUX!!! (a real O.S....)
