- My apologies to those of you who are seeing lots of copies of this (both
- from me and Kent Pitman). I wanted to make sure that it reaches all the
- people to whom it should be relevant, and there's naturally quite a bit of
- overlap.
-
- Common Lisp is now a draft proposed American National Standard (dpANS)
- and is in a period of public review that extends until November 23, 1992.
- It's -not- an ANSI standard yet, but this is a major milestone in the
- standardization process. A press release from X3 containing further
- details, including ordering information, follows at the end of this message.
-
- Although review comments are not required to be in any particular form,
- we plan to publish a template which people can voluntarily comply with
- if they have comments to make. Information about that template will be
- distributed soon over this same communication channel.
-
- This message is a broadcast distribution to a very large number of
- recipients. PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THE FULL RECIPIENT LIST.
