What is the state of CommonLisp on 80386 based machines, such as the Compaq 386. It seems as though this machine could be reasonable for lisp. Has anyone looked into this possibility? If so, the questions that I have are: Is there a virtual memory operating system that will support large programs? How good are the CommonLisp implementation available? Thanks in advance for any info anyone can pass along, I will summarize the info I get, -Jeff -- Jeff Kitson jeff@kestrel.arpa

LUCID recently announced an agreement with INTEL to produce a CL for the 80386. Golden Hill has an add-on board consisteng of an 80386, with 16K I believe. Gold Hill should also run in extended memory on COMPAQ 80386. I don't think either of the above takes real advanatage of the 80386 architecture (which is almost suitable for a LISP implementations).
