I am taking a class in AI, and we are required to learn a bit of LISP. I
would like to be able to run an interpreter from my Win98 Pentium II, but I
cannot seem to find an interpreter or (even better!) a GUI environment.
Is there such a thing, and where would I find it?
Also, I am very slow at these things, so I would require something that has
very, very easy installation instructions.
Thanks in advance,
Sara

Franz, Inc. has a free trial download of Allegro Common Lisp. It has a
built-in GUI, is probably suitable for your educational needs, and installs
as easily as any other Windows program. Just go to
http://www.franz.com/dload/dload.main.html and choose the product Allegro CL
Lite 5.0.1 for Windows + Tutorial (download) and fill out the rest of the
questions. It is a rather large download, so have plenty of hard drive
space available.

Given all of those requirements, even though this is comp.lang.lisp
and not comp.lang.scheme, I'm going to suggest that you try DrScheme:
<URL:http://www.cs.rice.edu/CS/PLT/packages/drscheme/>
DrScheme is a graphical environment for developing programs
using the Scheme, MzScheme, and MrEd programming languages.
DrScheme runs under Windows 95/98/NT, MacOS, and Unix/X.
Scheme is *not* Common Lisp, but it is a member of the extended Lisp
family, and DrScheme is heavily used in teaching environments. It has
a settable "language level" and automatic syntax checking and high-lighting
that is aware of the current language-level setting, and an extensive
"Help Desk". (To see some screen shots, see the "Take a Tour" slide show:
<URL:http://www.cs.rice.edu/CS/PLT/packages/drscheme/tour/index.html>)
Ask your instructor if a Scheme would be acceptable, and if so, try DrScheme.

Micros**t is not the answer. Micros**t is a question, and the answer is Linux,
(http://www.linux.org) the choice of the GNU (http://www.gnu.org) generation.
Hard work has a future payoff. Laziness pays off NOW.
