Can someone point me to a history of CLIM? I gather that it was
somewhat of a joint venture of different Lisp vendors from the days
when "Lisp vendors" included folks like Symbolics. Was it based on the
Lisp Machine's UI frameworks. Or was it an all new thing.

I also gather that it never really took off (though it now seems to be
experiencing a bit of a renaissance thanks to the McCLIM project).
Were there any major CLIM-based applications?
