Composer is a collection of tools for the development system.

At LUGM 98 Franz agreed to provide an implementation (in binary
form) of CLIM 2 for Linux ACL. It will be available under
the same terms as ACL for Linux (free for non commercial use).
A friend of mine already got the CLIM source from Franz
for doing this port to Linux (plus Motif).

So Linux users will have a quality CL and CLIM implementation
to start hacking applications and an environment.

Others can write a free version of CLIM.
