Funny. Yesterday i downloaded the trial version of Franz Lisp (Allegro
CL).
I can'T say if the runtime libraries are out of date because there is
absolute no documentation for the runtime libraries - of course they
also bundle the ANSI-Common Lisp book.

I found that they still want to sell every fucking line of code in an
extra library raising the price to an unexceptable high value.
