1 Introduction

CMU Common Lisp is a public-domain implementation of Common Lisp developed in the Computer Science Department of Carnegie Mellon University. CMU Common Lisp runs on various Unix workstations--see the README file in the distribution for current platforms. This document describes the implementation based on the Python compiler. Previous versions of CMU Common Lisp ran on the IBM RT PC and (when known as Spice Lisp) on the Perq workstation. See man cmucl (`man/man1/cmucl.1') for other general information.
