Hi,

I used to work in Lisp six years ago with Allegro IDE in Windows 3.11. I was
wondering if there is a better IDE for developing in Lisp in WinXP.

Thanks a lot.

my 2 cents: ACL roolz. LispWorks second, Corman third. I have not gotten 
far enough with Emacs/ILisp to judge if it comes in ahead of or behind 
Corman.

I bet the latest ACL is a bit more advanced now.
Why not just try it? -> http://www.franz.com/downloads/

Then you also might want to look at LispWorks:

I'm using LispWorks on Mac OS X, where it has
the same IDE - just better looking. ;-)

It depends on how you define 'better'...

Lispworks, although a bit uglier than ACL, is  less expensive and IMHO more
powerful.  Try both (you might want to give corman a try too).
