I took a chance and downloaded this and ran it.
The first the accessed my browser's Cookie database for some reason,
along with some other handles that seem a little odd I don't see
evidence that it gave me a cookie, though. I've included here a
listing of what it had open at that moment.
When the Lisp Studio launched, it had a pane that
looked like an interaction repl. It just said
[1]>
But it would not let me type anything into the window.
All keystrokes were just echoed as beeps.
I closed that window, and choose "New" from the File menu.
That brought up a blank document pane that I could type into.
I entered a few trivial Lisp expressions (a DEFVAR and a DEFUN)
and selected "Run" from the menu. A message immediately popped
up saying something about "general protection fault" or something,
and then the application closed up.
There is a Help window, but the only documentation there is a
listing of Lisp symbols and documentation copied from somewhere.
Seems unlikley that it's a virus, but maybe this
program isn't quite ready for prime time yet.
I de-installed it.
The license gives you a 14 day trial, then you can buy it for $49.
Didn't I see this product being advertised a while back?
The web site didn't have any information about who the
authors are, or any other information about the product.
There is an email address to which support requests can be sent.

I gave it a shot and managed to compile a Hello, World! program to a
.exe, which weighed in at 1MB. You shouldn't close the REPL window, as
it is apparently called upon by the Run and Compile commands, hence your
GPF.

It's not really a REPL, though, is it? I couldn't type anything
into it, which is why I opened the other window in the first place.
Is this implementation based on some other implementation
we know, or is it all new?

It's a REPL. There's an entry line at the bottom of the window you were
trying to type into. The up-arrow even takes you to previous commands,
but down-arrow goes one character to the right each time until it gets
to the end of the line, and then it goes to the next command in the history.
It's certainly not very polished.

It has been listed here for some time, so I guess it's not that new:

So, it's not Free software, and it doesn't run on Unix. Nothing wrong
with that per se, but why then was www.cliki.net[*] spammed with
information about it? Please don't do that.
