If you are in the market for a free embeddable, C-callable lisp
interpreter, check out the latest version of ELI. ELI (the Embedded
Lisp Interpreter) is a part of the Andrew distribution, which in turn is
a part of X11r4.
Previous versions of ELI have been vastly too memory-inefficient to be
generally useful. However, a recent change to ELI causes the Lisp
interpreter to use orders of magnitude less memory. For example, a
recent test program caused the *old* ELI to grow to over 5 Megabytes,
while the same test caused the *new* ELI to grow only to 400 Kilobytes!
This fix to ELI will be available in Patch 5 of the Andrew distribution,
coming soon to a newsgroup near you.
