The Mac Common Lisp Web server is available.

You can write lisp code to hack the web directly from MCL. There is no
need to incur the overhead of scripting or struggle with inferior programming
tools.

You can get the server from the directory:

ftp://ftp.ai.mit.edu/pub/users/jcma/cl-http/mac-cl-http-1-1.sea.hqx

The server runs in MCL 3.0b6 or later releases. See the self-contained
documentation for running
under MCL 2.0.1.

We will work through archiecture and writing of applications in the tutorial.
