	    I've got some programs that are in XEROX-INTERLISP and i'd like to port
    it to Symbolics Common-lisp. Does anyone have
	    1) any conversion tool to do the same?
	    2) an INTERLISP Package for symbolics-common-lisp?
	
	    If you do, could you please mail me details at
		    murali@pravda.gatech.edu

    Thanks in advance,
	murali.

The late Envos Corp., formerly Xerox AI Systems, now three people in one
room in one of the many Xerox buildings in Sunnyvale, commissioned a
tool to assist in the conversion of IL to CL (ordinary CL, that is),
which I implemented.

This tool runs in Medley 1.0 or later, and could probably run in the
Lyric release with some tender loving care.  It hardly does everything,
but it does a lot of tedious things and is extensible in a sort of
convenient way.

I'd suggest calling Carl Gadener at Envos, 408-737-4448 and asking him
for a copy.

Failing that, write to me and I'll see what I can do.
