CLOS per say does not provide graphical support but does not
prevent it either [sic -reference to other messages from comp.object].
However there is a standardization effort on CLIM,
a CLOS object oriented interface manager. I don't know
what version of CL/CLOS on PC you are using, but I have
had the opportunity to work on CLIM 2.0.alpha for ACLPC (from Franz).
And found that it was a *powerful* way to build Windows
(3.1,NT,95) interfaces. CLIM 2.0 really has the potential
to provide high level portability across platform, unfortunately
CLIM 2.0 on PC is still an Alpha version, although we were quite
successful using it, and CLIM on MCL is still for version 1.1 (Sigh).
