HELP!!!!!  I am beginning a course in Lisp this Monday and would
appreciate some advice (sorry if this has been discussed before, but..).
Could someone recommend a Lisp interpreter/compiler and a Prolog
interpreter/compiler for the PC (286 IBM...)?  Also, are there any books
that are considered 'must-reads'?  Please e-mail or post as I am now a
reader of this newsgroup :)
Thanks in advance.

 Now that the subject has been brought up again,  I too would appreciate any
 information/opinions on interpreters/compilers for the above language(s) for
 a PC.

 Thanks a million,
 Darren

Dear Scott!

One of the fastest, smallest and most elegant Lisps for the PC is
PC Scheme 3.03 from Texas Instruments. It is a real bargain at
only US$ 95.

A very famous book about the Scheme dialect of Lisp is
_Structure and Interpretation of Computer Program_
written by Abelson and Sussman at MIT Press.
Also of interest are
	-Scheme and the Art of Programming by George Springer and Daniel
	 Friedman, MIT Press
	-Programming in Scheme by Eisenberg and Abelson, Scientific Press
	-The Little Lisper
...

Scheme is available at big software resellers like Programmers Paradise,
but not from Texas Instruments directly.

	With best greetings from Bavaria,	Flo

Even though I should know this, I am not sure, but
I think PC Scheme is available (at least in the US)
from TI by calling 1-800-TI-PARTS
