      Scott Burson has just released his C to Lisp translation system into the
      Public Domain. 

   Very, very, very cool!  Was this anounced anywhere?		  

Nope.  You are the first to know :-)

Zeta-C is a C implementation for Lisp Machines that works by translating C
into Lisp.  (Boy it feels odd to be using the present tense talking about
such an old thing!)  It uses constructs specific to Lisp Machine Lisp, so
its output is not Common Lisp and is not, in general, easily converted to
Common Lisp, though such conversions have been done on rare occasions.

It should be possible to build it from sources on an Explorer, Lambda, or
36xx.  It was never ported to the Ivory, though such a port would not be
difficult.
