Hi, all,

I'm a .net developer who's recently become fascinated with Lisp. I 
program in VB.Net most days (mostly sucks, but pays the bills), so the 
Lisp macro system (among other things) is rather astonishing to me. I've 
been reading Practical Common Lisp (excellent book, I may add) and it's 
left me with a few questions:

1. Can Lisp compile to a .Net assembly (dll)?
2. Is there any way for a .Net assembly to call a lisp program? What I 
need is to write a lisp assembly and call it from C# or VB.Net. Does 
such a beast even exist yet?
3. What is a good resource for learning emacs?

Thanks much

See http://www.cl-user.net/asp/libs/RDNZL , http://www.lsharp.org/ and

This is very probably not complete.

Oh, yes just discovered there is a emacs wiki.
