Hi there,

I am in need of a tutorial of Common Lisp, preferrebly as ftp-able document.
I will ocasionally be giving classes here at the University of Brighton
and I basically don't want to start from scratch - there is probably very good
stuff out there...?! What is the position of the major vendors
in regard of providing Lisp tutorials to the universities?

Sincerely,
Markus Fischer

This is only a pointer.  I'm learning lisp and I found the San Marco
Tutorial which came with my student copy of Golden Common Lisp
(somewhere MA, USA) to be quite helpful.  It cost in the realm of
$100.  I can give an address etc if you're interested.  I have no
connection with Golden except as a customer.

I can't speak for the others, but Venue provides the materials from
our Lisp course to our educational customers free of charge. I dunno
what the policy is for non-customers, but I'd bet our beancounter
would want something :-).
