- software products released during the year.

- finalists are Frontier 2.0 from UserLand and SoftPolish 1.1 from Language
- Systems.

-
- We just heard from Thomas Murphy of Computer Language magazine that Macintosh
- Common Lisp 2.0 has been nominated (along with roughly 50 other development
- products) for their "Computer Language/Jolt Cola Product Excellence Award" and
- their "Computer Language Productivity Award".
-
- The award winners will be announced on February 22, 1992 at Computer Language's
- Software Development '93 conference in Santa Clara, California, and then
- written up in the April issue of Computer Language magazine. Good luck MCL!
