The _(LIJOS) system is a Lisp Implementation of the *(Java) ObjectStream
   protocol.  That is, it is an implementation, in Lisp, of the Java
   serializing ObjectStream protocol that supports the
   (de)serialization of Java objects into and from appropriately
   mapped Lisp objects.  

Runs in ACL 5.0 but "intended to be very portable". 

Also, while ACL is the "prefered" Lisp dialect, most of the 
code is pretty vanilla CommonLisp/CLOS, and the ACL-dependent parts
(dealing primarily with wrappers around ACL's socket-implementation
and the definition of some numeric variables) are neatly packed away
in a couple files in a sub-directory (that is: I've not really had time
to work on ports to other lisp-implementations, but my intent is that 
they would be pretty painless.)
