[This is neither an AI nor a graphics question per se, but I thought
these lists had the best chance of reaching Symbolics users...]

What kind of support do the Symbolics machines provide for languages
other than Lisp?  Specifically, are there interactive debugging
facilities for Fortran, Pascal, etc.?  It's my understanding that the
compilers generate Lisp output.  Is this true, and if so, is the
interactive nature of Lisp exploited, or are the languages just
provided as batch compilers?  Finally, does anyone have anything to say
about efficiency?

Answers to me, and I'll summarize if there's any interest.  Thanks.
