I haven't used LISP since college and want to use it now. What is the
popular tools for LISP running on win2000 or win XP?

None that I know of (I use Lispworks and Allegro) but see <URL:
http://alu.cliki.net/Implementation>.

You can get free evaluation copies of LispWorks, Allegro, and Corman 
Lisp, all of which are good. Corman's evaluation copy is pretty much 
uncrippled, except that if you want to use the IDE past 30 days or 
something you have to pay $200.

Another way of doing this (disclaimer: I haven't tried it) would be to run
Linux as a process in Windows and then use Emacs+Slime+SBCL/CMUCL inside
that.

There should be no problems, seeing as Lisp works without root privileges.


Only one problem: I can't remember the name of that Linux-under-Windows
thing. Anyone?

Perhaps you are referring to Cygwin? It's not technically running
"Linux as a process in Windows" but it does provide a Linux-like
environment and the ability to compile and run many programs that run
on Linux. Emacs does work with Cygwin and there is a prebuilt package
for it. I understand that CMUCL, however, won't work. See this thread:

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&safe=off&threadm=c5hvt7%2418k%241%40ulric.tng.de&rnum=2&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dcygwin%2Bcmucl%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26safe%3Doff%26selm%3Dc5hvt7%252418k%25241%2540ulric.tng.de%26rnum%3D2

Not sure about the status of other free Lisps under Cygwin. Obviously,
if no others will work then you'd might as well not bother with Cygwin
and just run Emacs+SLIME natively in Windows with whatever Lisp you
settle on.

Perhaps you mean coLinux? Other than commercial solutions like VMWare
I think this is currently your only choice. But it's pretty new and
still in an alpha/beta stage so I doubt anyone has managed to run
CMUCL or SBCL on it yet.

Well, no. It isn't Cygwin, but basically a port of the Linux kernel using
Windows as a platform.

Eris take me if I can remember the name, though.

Hey, I found it. It's called Cooperative Linux, and can be found at
www.colinux.org. Very cool.

Eris...? What are you doing with that net? Hey... _Hey_!

Looks very cool indeed - this is the first I've seen it. Wonder how it
performs. Almost makes me want to install Linux inside of Windows
inside of VMWare inside of Linux. But such a chaotic masterpiece would
surely incur the jealousy and wrath of Eris - kallista!

Now I wonder if VMWare will run atop Movitz... :)
