Greetings Dave, The commercial "lisplementation" I've been reliant upon is LispWorks, so I could easily help you should you choose that route. One of our other group members, Paul, is also a LispWorker. See you at the next meet.

I am in the process of learning CL. It is a very enjoyable process. I hope to attend the next meeting in Toronto to connect with other lispers. (I am in Burlington.) How active is the group? I am a true old-timer in software/computing. I have know for years that I should turn to lisp. I am finally getting around to doing so. The experience is something like a religious conversion, I am pleased to admit. While lisp may not be the "one true way" it is starting to look like it to me. My current learning environment is emacs + slime + sblc. This is a great combo, which I use primarily on my macbook but also on my Vista machine and under ubuntu. It seems to work pretty well on all three. Eventually I will purchase a commercial CL product. I hope the group will provide some guidance in that respect. Hoping to hear from y'all.... - Dave - _______________________________________________ toronto-lisp mailing list toronto-lisp@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/toronto-lisp
