> Franz Allegro CL is a further development of Maclisp

You are completely wrong. "Franz Lisp" was written to be compatible with Maclisp so that it could run Vaxima. "Allegro Common Lisp" was written from scratch with no relation to Franz Lisp or Maclisp.

I see now after more reading that I was wrong and you are right. Franz Lisp was a new implementation that was compatible with Maclisp and Allegro Lisp was a later new implementation. I'm sorry to have posted bad information.
