For Macintosh Common Lisp, see:

Very nice implementation with usable debugging tools.  Fast code.

Major downfall, for me, is that it cannot call foreign code compiled
model far.  Our cross-platform full text retrieval engine will not
operate correctly unless compiled model far (32-bit everything).  Gets
very complicated dealing with gigabytes of data in 16-bit modes.

Regards,
Tom
