Hello dear managers,

A few weeks ago I have posted :
> We want to build a software on Sun with Lucid Common Lisp. But a vendor in
> France told us that Lucid doesn't exists anymore.
> Is it thrue ?
> If so what other Common Lisp may I use (maybe Frantz) ?

I receive a few answers, and it appears that :
1) Yes, Lucid doesn't exists anymore.
2) But, Lucid Common Lisp is available true an other company called
"Harlequin".
   But it is not available yet, we have to wait a week or two.

So we will wait until the availibity of Lucid Common Lisp thru Harlequin Ltd.
and buy it.

This is the answer of Andrew Bartlam from Harlequin Ltd. :

"Harlequin has now concluded the final legal arrangements with Lucid Inc to
acquire the FULL rights to their entire LISP customer base and the FULL
rights to their LISP software technology. We have not acquired any of Lucid
Inc's liabilities.
>From the very outset we have the ABSOLUTE commitment to support existing
and new Lucid customers and to selling licenses for Lucid Common Lisp
technology as well as for LispWorks to the advantage of both technologies
and of Harlequin generally. To this end we have established an office in
the Menlo Park area of California and hired several leading Lucid Inc
software developers and technical support engineers."

A lot of thanks to :
