I've updated Allegro Common Lisp on Athena to 8.0 and made it the default. From
my message to users:
Allegro Common Lisp 8.0 has been installed and is now the default. To
run it:
add acl
mlisp (Lisp only, TTY interface)
mlisp-xemacs & (Lisp only, xemacs interface)
mlisp-emacs & (Lisp only, emacs interface)
mlisp-composer & (Lisp with Composer, xemacs interface)
mlisp-composer-emacs & (Lisp with Composer, emacs interface)
mlisp-clim & (Lisp with CLIM, xemacs interface)
mlisp-clim-emacs & (Lisp with CLIM, emacs interface)
To run CLIM demos after starting Lisp with CLIM:
(require :climdemo)
(clim-demo:start-demo)
To run 7.0 now, pick one of the above followed by a "-ver 7.0" switch i.e.
mlisp-composer -ver 7.0 &
File /mit/acl_v8.0/hello_world.cl shows a way to make a file containing
Lisp source code directly executable.
Release notes are at

There is extensive online documentation starting from

pdf format is in file /mit/acl_v8.0/distrib/share/doc/clim-ug.pdf, and an
