Hi,
I'm doing a small school project on CLOS and would like to try out some
small programs. I'm looking for a site from which I can download a
public version of a CLOS compiler for use in DOS or Windows. If
you know of one, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Frank

Not a public version, now you can download Allegro CL 3.0 Web Version
for Windows--a free (somewhat restricted, naturally, but fine for what
you plan to do) version of the famous Allegro CL for Windows). Look at
Franz home page at http://www.franz.com
Probably this release didn't get enough publicity in the newsgroups, and
it's a pity since Franz definitely deserves the highest respect for that
step. On a second thought...what the hell, here it is:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
Now, if you want to do some neat hacks in Common Lisp for your fun
(but *NOT* for your profit), and you look for a free Common Lisp with
CLOS for Windows (NT, 95, or good old 3.1 with Win32s), you can get
Allegro CL 3.0 Web Version for Windows. This is a restricted version
of their famous Allegro Common Lisp, released as a service to the
community. Restrictions are: heap size, no image save, no
compilation, no disassembler, no support, and, of course, no profit.
But you do get the greatest CL environment you can find for Windows.
You can download it from Franz Inc.'s WWW site at http://www.franz.com.

Thank you for the praise! We think it is a good idea as well!

Note that the restriction is that there is no compilation to files (i.e.,
no object file compilation). The compiler is resident and compiles - to
32-bit machine code - all source that is loaded in or typed in.
But you do get the greatest CL environment you can find for Windows.
You can download it from Franz Inc.'s WWW site at http://www.franz.com.
P.S. We put out an updated version on the 30th October, which fixes
install bugs some people had reported (the message reported a file
corruption problem and occurred for Windows 3.1 users running DOS SHARE).
