Common Windows

[Mark Maybury <MAYBURY@RADC-TOPS20.ARPA>]

Does anyone know about common windows?

1) Is Common Windows a moving target or has it been standardized.  If so, 
can one purchase an implementation of Common Windows for any machine running 
Common Lisp (e.g. the Symbolics, TI, Macintosh, IBM-PC etc.)

2)  How does it work?  Is it a total window system implementation, or 
does it make calls to the resident windowing system on the machine or is 
X-Windows involved or something else?

3)  Will it run on unix-based machines running X-windows 
as well as on Symbolics and TI LISPMs?  Macintoshes?  IBM PC's?

4) Does anyone have any comment on X-windows versus Common Windows?

Thanks in advance.
