Hi List!
I hardly ever post here because I'm such a newbie to lisp, but pop in
now and again from deja w/ a question.
I'm slowly learning lisp using ANSI Common Lisp (got recommendation
here), Common LISP Workbook and the Episodic Learner Model Adaptive
Remote Tutor (ELM-ART):
http://www.psychologie.uni-trier.de:8000/elmart
(I think this site is running under a lisp web server too!)
Anyway, now I need to type some code, not very advanced, and I want to
know what the most recent free distribution of a lisp implemtation for a
PC is.
I'm assuming Franz's is the best commercial version around.
If you have comments about the same questions for a Mac (= home studio)
I'd appreciate those too (I'm posting on comp.lang.lisp.mcl too).
Thanks in Advance,
'H' (Howard) Elmer

Take a look on CLISP and CMUCL at http://www.cons.org
To my mind, the former is better for beginners. If you work under
Windows, Corman Lisp (free for personal use) is also an option. See
http://www.corman.net.

Both Franz and Harlequin trial versions will provide you enough
functionality for self-education tasks.

Take a look at http://www.digitool.com, they sell MCL to students IIRC
just for $85. You can also get PowerLisp from corman.net, though it is
no longer supported.
Hope this helps,
