what editing environment/compilers to people use for lisp in a windows (95
or NT) setting -- I would prefer an text editor that handled other
languages also, but not necessary...
Thanks, Aaron

GNU Emacs has been ported to W95 and WinNT. Works great for Lisp and
anything else you want to edit. Find it at:
http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html#support
This is GNU Emacs 19.34.6. I have used this both on W95 and WinNt 4.0
Workstation with no probelms. Best of all, I was able to take all my
personal customizations, key bindings, etc. that I have used for years
on Unix and they all worked with no changes. One feature I like is that
I have an Emacs Icon on the windows desktop that supports drag and drop
of files from Explorer windows. Drag a file to the icon, and GNU emacs
opens with the selected file loaded in.
The GNU Emacs kit comes in a tar.gz file, so you will need these tools
to uncompress the kit. They are useful tools to have on W95 or WinNT
box anyway if you do any work with Unix. Gzip can be found at
ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com:/pub/GNU/
in the file gzip-1.2.4.msdos.exe
and tar can be found at
http://ftp.uni-mannheim.de/ftp/systems/msdos/tools/
in the file tar.exe.
Hope this helps
