  She's moving to LA the first of October without me. But she claims
she's not dumping me! Whatever that means.

  I'm doing the developement work in ACL4.X for Linux. CMUCL is a
definite target. (I didn't spend the last 6 months getting the HP-UX
port of CMUCL working for nothing! (I have HP-UX machines at work.))

  As soon as I get a sufficient subset working, I'll let everyone know
where to get it. (Somewhere on www.mikemac.com and www.cons.org at
least. I'll also have to get CVS set up then.) My plan (which hasn't
changed in the last year!) is to get enough of a framework/subset
working so people can start helping with pieces/bugs/optimizations.
Maybe there'll be something in people's Christmas stock! (of 2003 of
course!)
