Ibuki is working on a port to Microsoft Windows. At the time I talked
to their representative, he didn't know what their pricing would be.
I just hope that they don't "do a Gold Hill" and price themselves out
of the market. Borland and Microsoft have become rich selling C, BASIC,
and Pascal compilers for $100. Anyone who offers full Common Lisp at
in the price range will sell thousands and thousands of units.
