This is great news! Does this mean that you guys are now all going into holiday to recover ? > LispWorks 5.0 brings these new features: > > * Support for Intel-based Macintosh machines and universal binaries > * New 64-bit implementations on Windows, Macintosh and Linux platforms I have a question about the differences between the 32 and 64 bit versions, since there is a large price difference (and a forced upgrade to the enterprise variant): Are there any more differences apart from the larger heap size (and increased array, string, fixnum sizes / limits) ? Is the 64 bit version recommended for normal use, or only for those who have run into limitations in the past ? Are there speed differences ? Maybe 64 bit processing is overkill and slower in most cases ? Is it correct that the Mac Intel (and thus the Universal binary) version is only 32 bit for now ? Sven
