- Procyon sell an OS/2 implementation of CL. They also developed a
- Windows 3 version which has now become the new Franz Allegro CL\PC.
-
- From the Lisp FAQ, part 4:
-
- Procyon Common Lisp runs on either the Apple Macintosh or IBM PC
- (386/486 or OS/2 native mode), costing 450 pounds sterling
- (educational),
- 1500 pounds ($795) commercial. It requires 2.5mb RAM on the Macintosh
- and
- ^^^^^^
- actually $2250 commercial, $675 educational
-
- 4mb RAM on PCs (4mb and more than 4mb recommended respectively).
- It is a full graphical environment, and includes a native CLOS with
- meta-object protocol, incremental compilation, foreign function
- interface, object inspector, text and structure editors, and debugger.
