Proabaly a FAQ, but I have not been looking at this group for a while.
We are evaluating using Lisp for our next project . Would
anyone care to comment on available environments related to:
1.) Runtime license (none required)
2.) Stability
3.) Support
4.) Documentation
5.) GUI builder
6.) Portability
7.) Learning curve (just a feell I know this is highly subjective)
8.) GUI Look and feel (project is for Msoft so needs to look like
a 'normal' windows app)
9.) Foreign function interface
Thanks in advance

Does Harlequin have a GUI builder for their Lisp?

This rules out all but these two:

Did I read right? Gatescorp has contracted to purchase a
custom app written in Lisp, rather than C++ or VB?

what makes you think they don't sleep with everybody? The're
even a reference customer for Lisp on the _Macintosh_:

Wasn't Microsoft Bob written in Lisp? I guess they must use it occasionally

You can get an Allegro license that allows unlimited distribution of
binaries. The one I use (Allegro Runtime) doesn't permit the compiler
and similar things to be included in the shipped applications, but for
many applications that isn't necessary, and there is another version
(Allegro Dynamic Runtime) that doesn't have this restriction.

Who is General Failure & why's he reading my disk?
If this is so their sales did not bring it up. We discussed with them over
several
days how to be able to distribute the final exe with no runtime. Several
options
were presented, but none provided this ability without (significant) costs
to an external user.
As I said too bad, because the product is nice.
