- During the last few months, Lucid and Apple have worked with Illudium
- Software to bring MacCLIM to market. Lucid now provides one-stop
- shopping for both MCL 2.0 and MacCLIM 2.0. Lucid also offers customer
- support for both products. Our plan is to work with Illudium to
- product the MacCLIM 2.0 version of software once our own Lucid CLIM
- 2.0 enters beta test.

- NEWS RELEASE
-
- LUCID JOINS WITH APPLE COMPUTER TO PROVIDE MACINTOSH SOLUTIONS FOR
- LISP DEVELOPERS
-
- Menlo Park, CA December 1, 1992: Lucid, Inc., the leading vendor of
- Common Lisp systems for general purpose systems, today announced the
- immediate availability of the Common Lisp Interface Manager for
- Macintosh computers (MacCLIM), and the availablility of Macintosh
- Common Lisp (MCL) from Lucid. Under its agreement with Apple, Lucid
- will package, distribute and support MacCLIM and resell and support
- MCL.
-
- CLIM, a Lisp industry graphical toolkit standard, allows users to
- write platform-independent user interfaces. With release 2.0,
- expected next year, users can expect functionality that allows an
- application written for a Unix workstation running Lucid Common Lisp
- to adapt itself automatically to the Macintosh look-and-feel when
- compiled under MCL.
-
- "Lucid now offers one-stop shopping for Lisp programmers across even
- more platforms," said Bob Kadarauch, President and CEO of Lucid. "Our
- users are including the Macintosh in their development and deployment
- plans. With this agreement and our eight years of experience in
- supporting commercial development of advanced systems, we can meet the
- needs of our commercial developers more fully."
-
- MacCLIM version 1.1 lists for $495 and MCL for $495. Customer support
- for each product is available at $500 per year and includes future
- updates and hotline support. Apple will continue to offer the
- standalone MCL product through its APDA distribution channel, Apple's
- source for development tools.
-
- "MacCLIM fills an important need for customers who want to write
- Common Lisp programs and have them run on multiple platforms including
- the Macintosh," said Harvey Alcabes, MCL Product Marketing Manager at
- Apple Computer. "We're pleased that Lucid is making MacCLIM and MCL
- support available to customers."
-
- Lucid, Inc. is an eight-year old UNIX programming tools company with
- leading market share in Common Lisp for general purpose computers.
- Lucid provides compilers, tools, and programming environments for the
- Lisp, C, and C++ developer, including the Energize Programming System
- for C and C++.
