It's CMU's Common > Lisp. Is there some difference with your port? I've used CMU Common LISP (lang/cmucl) and GNU Common LISP (lang/gcl) as well. CLISP is nicer to work with since it uses the readline library; that is purely cosmetic, of course. The main reason for porting CLISP is that it appears to be a potent LISP interpreter/compiler that is being actively developed. Adding it to FreeBSD's vast toolbox, giving future LISP opprotunists another option, seems a win. -Jeff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
