Dynamic Lisp Tools suited for Internet, Java Connections, and more

Berkeley, CA, November 16, 2000Franz Inc. is shipping its newest cross-platform development environment, Allegro CL®6.0.

Web-Enabling Technology

"Allegro CL 6.0 represents the future of internet-ready development tools," says Fritz Kunze, Franz Inc.'s CEO.

"We've significantly enhanced our Integrated Development Environment, debugging tools for multiple threads and Unicode support for international applications. In addition, we fully encourage enterprise connectivity by providing CORBA, OLE/COM, ODBC and object database support," says Barber.
