MCL is on PowePC (not native yet)?

A version of the following appeared in comp.lang.mcl last week,
check it out for more info. I took out all price information.
I don't think it belongs in this newsgroup at all.

PLEASE CROSS-POST WIDELY AS APPROPRIATE

MCL 3.0 is now slated to ship in June, 1995.  The final testing period has
been extended to assure the highest level of product reliability and
compatibility with upcoming Macintosh hardware.

The following new information about the nature, availability, and pricing
of MCL 3.0 products is provided for the benefit of the MCL community and
supersedes prior announcements.  It includes product and price information
for MCL 3.0, the upgrade for existing customers, and the redistribution
kits for MCL applications and the MCL compiler.

Of special note are new price categories for personal use of MCL.  These
are only available directly from Digitool, which is now taking orders from
students and individuals.  Commercial and educational institutions will
continue to order from APDA, which will begin taking orders for MCL 3.0
products in the second week of June, 1995.

Thank you for your continued support of MCL.

MCL 3.0:
This is the first version of MCL that supports multiple processes, Apple's
WorldScript, and the ability to create distributable applications of
reduced disk footprint (with the optional MCL-AppGen utility included in
the Redistribution Kit described below).  By itself, MCL 3.0 creates fully
customized applications designated as "Lisp Development Systems" which may
not be distributed or sold other than as part of the distribution or sale
of MCL itself (e.g. distribution within an MCL site-licensed institution or
via the inclusion of a full MCL license with each Lisp Development System
sold).  With MCL-AppGen, MCL creates smaller "MCL Distributable
Applications" as described below.

The MCL 3.0 package includes a CD-ROM and both on-line and hardcopy
versions of the documentation: "Getting Started with MCL," "MCL Reference,"
and "Supplement to MCL Reference."


MCL 3.0 CHAMPION EDITION:
Identical in software content and capability to MCL 3.0, this reduced price
edition is available only to individuals and students for championing the
use of MCL at home, in companies, or universities.  The Champion Edition
package includes the same CD as in the MCL 3.0 product with complete
on-line documentation and a hardcopy of the "Supplement to MCL Reference";
and is available only from Digitool.  See below for qualifications and
ordering details.


MCL 3.0 REDISTRIBUTION KIT (beta release):
This includes both a utility, called MCL-AppGen, for creating MCL
Distributable Applications with a reduced disk footprint, and a license to
distribute an unlimited number of such applications ROYALTY-FREE.  MCL
Distributable Applications created with MCL-AppGen will be nominally
500-800K smaller than their Lisp Development System counterparts.

The minimal 500K savings is achieved by the absence of the debugging tools
(trace, step, backtrace, etc.), development tools (Apropos, Get Info
dialog, etc.), listener windows, and the compiler from the MCL
Distributable Application.  An additional 300K of space savings is possible
by the optional exclusion of the evaluator, macro definitions, and some
other modules.

The MCL 3.0 Redistribution Kit with its license replaces the MCL 2.x Object
Code Redistribution License, previously available through Apple Software
Licensing.


MCL COMPILER REDISTRIBUTION KIT (beta release):
This includes both the MCL compiler as a separate module, and a license to
incorporate it in an unlimited number of MCL Distributable Applications
ROYALTY-FREE.  The MCL Compiler Redistribution Kit is required only when
shipping applications that call the MCL compiler at runtime.  Good
candidate applications for such use of the MCL compiler include scriptable
CAD packages and new programming languages.

The MCL Compiler Redistribution Kit is not needed for creating Lisp
Development Systems, as the MCL compiler is included with the MCL 3.0
product.
