Hi all,

I have a demo of Allegro Lisp running on FreeBSD.  When I run 'alisp' I
get the REPL.  Then I try (require :ide) and it cannot find the module.

How do I get the IDE to come up?  I've been searching the docs, but no
luck yet.

Run it on windows? The website states numerous times that the IDE is 
available only for windows.

There is something called the "composer" which runs under X/Unix, As 
seen on the VERY FIRST google hit for 'allegro ide" : 
http://www.franz.com/products/integrated_dev_env/

If I were looking for this information, i'd probably try the franz web 
page first ... http://www.franz.com/ .. where i'd probably notice that 
an early release of the IDE for linux has just been released... which 
would then make me figure that BSD is not yet a priority..

Assuming i somehow missed all the obvious information,  after enough 
stumbling around and getting yelled at for asking ignorant questions in 
public forums when google had the answer as its first hit, somebody may 
be kind enough to point me to SLIME : http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/

...and i'd be happy.

Sorry I didn't see that.  When I went to download the free demo
version, it said "Allegro CL 6.2 Trial Edition for Windows, Linux,
FreeBSD and Mac OS X

This is a limited version of Allegro CL intended to get you started in
Allegro CL application development. The Allegro CL Trial Edition for
Windows includes an interactive tutorial for the Allegro CL Interface
Builder, some reference information on CLOS, and much more. "

So I didn't expect a tutorial, but the docs that come with the FreeBSD
version give the instructions to bring up the IDE without saying it
only works on Windows.

But aside from that, my mistake.  Sorry.

I'm trying to give up emacs, but thanks anyway.

After Kenny Tilton said one of the biggest advantages in his project
was specifically related to the Allegro Lisp GUI and IDE, I thought I'd
check it out.

Note that this test IDE is only available to paying linux customers.
