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.
