I'm told that *Lisp was a follow-on that was less ambitious but easier
to implement on the Connection Machine. AFAIK *Lisp was used for real
programming and CMLisp wasn't.

There is a *Lisp simulator in Common Lisp in the CMU AI Repository,
but I haven't looked at it closely.

They also made a *C language.

P.S., I registered this list on Gmane as gmane.lisp.eurolisp.

Cheers,
Luke (very excited to see Data Parallel style ride again. Maybe I'll
get a chance to use it some day :-))
