- I think it's on some of the older Developer CDs. I occasionaly run across
- it here and there. Look around. For system 7, choose one:
- (A) it doesn't run under system 7.
- (B) it hangs/crashes under system 7.
- (C) it would be nice if it did run under system 7.
- (D) all of the above.
- (E) some of the above.
- (F) most of the above.

- Sure. It looked like a nice implementation. I thought it would be a very
- good beginners Lisp package, or a good intro to OOP concepts (sorry,
- "paradigm"). The object library seemed adequate for most mac development.
- All in all, it's a dang shame that somebody didn't support it enough for
- it to run under system 7. Maybe Apple's got the source code lying around
- someplace that they could post???? Maybe?
