I've been looking at PC/Windows 3.x based Lisp products and haven't really
decided which would be best for my needs. I'm mostly considering GCLisp from
Gold Hill Computers and Allegro CL/PC (note PC, not CL) from Franz. Does
anyone have any comments as to either of these products benefits or
weaknesses? I'd appreciate any information.
Thanks,
Chris

You may have to wait for support for one of the platforms that provides
multiprocessing. Maybe there'll be an NT version of Allegro CL soon?

If I don't got i wrong, ACL/PC 2.0 beta runs on 32s and on NT

I don't have a list of features supported by that Lisp, so I can't
say whether it supports threads and pipes etc. I might assume that
it supports some of NT's multiprocessing features, tho.
Um, did you mean Win32s, or was the "32s" a typo? Win32s doesn't
includes threads, and might not be supported at all now that Chicago
can replace it.

It is in fact win32s. I don't think there is any support for any sort of
multiprocessing -- I asked and would have remembered if they had
said yes :-)
Chicago is currently not capable of replacing anything of win32s,
other than advertising budget.
