I submitted earlier a query about Common Lisp.  Here's the rundown
on what I've come upon so far.

    ... Common Lisp is to be released by DEC for VAX/VMS
        ``in this quarter''.
    ... DEC developed Common Lisp at CMU using its money and
        apparently many of its own personnel, so they own
        the code developed.
    ... DEC developed a version to run under 4.n bsd VAX/Unix
        along with the VAX/VMS version, but the VMS version
        had priority, so the VAX/Unix version is lagging behind
        a bit.  They are supposed to release one soon, however.
    ... There is no version running on 68000's at present,
        through apparently some companies are working on it.
    ... There may be a Common Lisp mailing list (Common-Lisp@SU-AI),
        but I haven't determined this for certain.  I asked to be
        put on the list but haven't heard anything back.
