[] I'm looking for advice on a lisp system for IBM/AT or clones. Ideally it would be a "full" implementation of Steele's Commonlisp and have flavors, compilation, a good debugger, C language interface, and be able to take advantage of all my expanded and extended memory. I would like to be able to port things to Lucid Commonlisp on the Sun and Commonlisp on the Symbolics without too big a lossage. How close can I come to this? Any recommendations? -- ...!hplabs!sdcrdcf!trwrb!orion!heins We are a way for the universe to know itself. -- Carl Sagan

Golden Hills GCLISP package is fully featured and probably has
everything you want, at a price to match. I believe you need
an AT with a minimum of 1 megabyte. The cheapest version of
the system is about $ 500.

GC Lisp may be the best Common Lisp for the PC AT. It uses protected mode
and extended memory. It includes a Emacs like editor.
However it is subset. While it includes critical features like lexical
scoping, it leaves out many useful functions and features like
hash tables, random numbers, complex and rational
number, modules, keyword arguments of user functions. Also many
of the functions that it does provide don't support all the Common
Lisp parameters.
