Hi.
This maby sound odd, not just becaurse Im'e not english speaking, so It can be
hard to find the right word among the 400 ones I know, ------ but is Lisp
allways either run in batch mode interprentet or on a modified C compiler ?
I ask as Lisp is the only I know ; I know how most other work and basicly if you
know one you know all , except assembler maby. Anyway My problem is, that It's
been difficult for me, to find a cheap compiler made for Lisp.
Now some years ago I tried to find a Lisp compiler, as I like the way things are
done with Lisp, but every time I found somthing, I kind of ended in the
situasion, where I told myself, that then I could just aswell do what everybody
been telling me, and learn C++ ; then I could also take profit from the function
folders with AutoCAD. But I know that I proberly never will get startet, as all
this compiler directives will turn me crazy, -------- spending 1 tenth the time
writing the code, 4 tenths debugging and the rest of the time tuning the
compiler isn't realy me.
Now after following the discussions here for near a week ,asd finding that you
guy's know somthing about what you are talking about, I trust you enough, to ask
you, if there are any hope for a somone like me.
Have a nice day.
P.C.

Same here, just don't worry about it; English speakers don't care
a bit, other than Germans and probably Danish :-)

No. It /can/ be interpreted, /can/ be translated to C, but most
implementations come with a genuine native code compiler.

That's not true, either. There are several /families/ of languages,
and you probably know only languages from one family, like most
people do; in that case, most languages look indeed the same to you;
but, say, C, Smalltalk, Haskell, Prolog and Lisp are all totally
different from each other.

Look harder. CMUCL or CLISP are totally free. The commercial
vendors also offer trial versions for free.
P.S. & OT: Does anybody know whether vi has a fill-paragraph
function? This editor is driving me nuts...

Luckily vi makes this wonderfully simple:
:w
:!emacs -nw %
[ESC]q
[C-x][C-s]
[C-x][C-c]
[Return]
:r

By the way, what is "OT"?

Not directly. You can select a paragraph and pipe it through "fmt" to
reformat. (A "better still" option is the program "par", though it's
not universally available.)
The way I usually do it is to head to the start of the paragraph, then
count the number of lines, and (supposing it's 4) type:
4!!par[enter]
You might want 4!!fmt instead.
There is more than likely some way of specifying "this paragraph;" I
haven't bothered to find it.

"gqap" does it in vim, but not in other vi implementations.

In addition to the other responses, I trust you are aware of the
wrapmargin and/or wraplen options of vi, which are the equivalent of
auto-fill-mode in vi? From the OpenBSD 2.9 manpage of vi:
wraplen, wl [0]
Vi only. Break lines automatically, the specified
number of columns from the left-hand margin. If
both the wraplen and wrapmargin edit options are
set, the wrapmargin value is used.

VI(1) VI(1)
wrapmargin, wm [0]
Vi only. Break lines automatically, the specified
number of columns from the right-hand margin. If
both the wraplen and wrapmargin edit options are
set, the wrapmargin value is used.

Now I downloaded LispWorks, -------- that one don't look any Bugwork ,but I
wonder if anyone have good or bad to say about this.
