The subject line says it all-I need a (preferably)CommonLisp that will run on a PC. This is mostly for self-teaching of LISP at home, and need not be exotic. It does need to be MUCH cheaper than the $1995.00 gouge that Gold Hill is getting for their LISP. I realize this has probably come up before, but... =Eric .

I think Students here at IU buy it for $30 or $40 with a manual but I think that is under an educational site license. I am not sure who to call or write but there is a customer response address in my manual: Texas Instruments Inc. Data Systems Group ATTN: PC Sustaining P.O.

I realize this has probably come up before, but... The last I heard, Gold Hill is still selling their Golden Common Lisp Student Edition for under $100. GCL/SE includes as much of Common Lisp as will fit in 640 Kbytes of RAM. It includes an editor, an on-line tutorial, and even a junior version of the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS). Lawrence G.

I realize this has probably come up before, but... Ibuki is working on a port to Microsoft Windows. At the time I talked to their representative, he didn't know what their pricing would be. I just hope that they don't "do a Gold Hill" and price themselves out of the market. Borland and Microsoft have become rich selling C, BASIC, and Pascal compilers for $100. Anyone who offers full Common Lisp at in the price range will sell thousands and thousands of units. -- Carl Kadie --- kadie@cs.uiuc.edu University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign === Today the NEA and alt.sex, tomorrow our public libraries ===

I realize this has probably come up before, but... How about XLISP? I think it's available on SIMTEL (maybe in its own directory) It's not necessarily 100% CommonLisp, but you can't beat the price anywhere! It should do the job, our programming languages class uses an XLISP dialect for the LISP section of the course. Dave. | shack@cs.arizona.edu

I have an extensively modified XLISP 2.1 which has been molded more into CL and fixes numerous bugs in the standard XLISP distribution. The extension over the standard XLISP are obtained via compilation options. Send a self-addressed, stamped mailer with a formatted high density floppy to: Tom Almy 17830 SW Shasta Trail Tualatin, OR 97062 Atatch a note saying: 1. You want XLISP sources. 2. Any binaries you need (generic w/wo 80x87 and 80386 protected mode w. 80387 available). 3. Documentation as PostScript file, ASCII text file, or WordPerfect 5.1 file.
