   Does MCL (MacIntosh Common Lisp 2.0) include CLIM?
   From the description they mention an "Interface Toolkit" but
   I see no specific mention of CLIM (in APDA catalog that Apple just sent me).

CLIM is a completely separate product from MCL.  ILA makes the version
for the Mac.  (I can give you their address if you need it.)

The MCL Interface Toolkit provides an easy way to build dialog boxes
and menu items graphically and then it inserts source code for
generating the dialogs into an editor buffer for you.  You just drag
the appropriate kinds of dialog items to where you want them in the
dialog.

e.g. it generates code like this:

(MAKE-INSTANCE 'DIALOG
               :WINDOW-TYPE :SHADOW-EDGE-BOX :VIEW-POSITION '(:TOP 60)
               :VIEW-SIZE #@(300 150)
               :CLOSE-BOX-P NIL
               :VIEW-FONT '("Chicago" 12 :SRCOR :PLAIN)
               :VIEW-SUBVIEWS
               (LIST (MAKE-DIALOG-ITEM 'RADIO-BUTTON-DIALOG-ITEM
                                       #@(182 78)
                                       #@(72 46)
                                       "Untitled"
                                       NIL)
                     (MAKE-DIALOG-ITEM 'CHECK-BOX-DIALOG-ITEM
                                       #@(174 24)
                                       #@(72 16)
                                       "Untitled"
                                       NIL)
                     (MAKE-DIALOG-ITEM 'SEQUENCE-DIALOG-ITEM
                                       #@(34 11)
                                       #@(88 64)
                                       "Untitled"
                                       NIL
                                       :CELL-SIZE #@(14 16)
                                       :TABLE-HSCROLLP NIL
                                       :TABLE-VSCROLLP NIL
                                       :TABLE-SEQUENCE '(0 1 2))))
