- Thanks to a lot of help from John Doner, we've found a copy of Pearl
- CL and instructions on how to modify it with ResEdit to work under
- System 7.
-
- Unfortunately, various people we've talked to at Apple claim that
- Pearl was never released into the public domain. If so, we cannot make
- our copy available. On the other hand, everybody else we've talked to
- seems to think that Pearl was placed in the public domain when Apple
- bought Coral.
-
- I'd like to get to the bottom of this issue, if for no other reason
- than to include a definitive entry in the Lisp FAQ. So, if you've got
- an "official" letter or announcement from Apple which sheds light on
- the status of Pearl, please send me a copy:
