Hello,

I'd read somewhere that "an entire OS has been written in LSIP".

Does anyone know if there is a Windows 98 shell replacement written in LISP?

Thanks,
DJ

Symbolics is the canonical example of this.

I'm sure it's possible; if it was possible to implement Litestep and
Serenade as alternatives to Windows Explorer, it is doubtless possible
to construct a "LispStep" or some such thing.  Corman Lisp would
probably be the preferred way to implement it.

But if you consider that few people use LiteStep or Serenade, a
"LispStep" would probably not be of _vast_ interest...

There is scsh by Olin Shivers and Brian D. Carlstrom.  It is a Scheme
shell that runs on various Unix platforms, and also Win32 (through
CygWin).  It is written in a mixture of C and Scheme.  scsh is
available from <http://www.swiss.ai.mit.edu/ftpdir/scsh/>.

Closest you'll find is Microsoft Bob (Windows 3.1, not 98).
