dear cl users
I am just starting with some tutorials to start learning clisp. I
printed "Basic Lisp Techniques" by David J. Cooper Jr. chapter 2
is specifically for Allegro CL which I don't have on my Debian
testing. so I am settling for emacs, now how would one start the clisp
in emacs, I mean, #clips starts is in the shell and returns a prompt,
do I expect the same with emacs?

thanks

Hi

(setq inferior-lisp-program "clisp")

in your .emacs and M-x run-lisp to get an inferior-lisp buffer.

Alternatively, install and run slime.

Shimon.

Here is a pretty darned good book on LISP in general:
http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/

In any case, I've been hearing good things about another implementation
called SBCL, which, unfortunately for me, is only recent and stable on
Unix and unix-like OS's.  CLISP lacks threads, for example.
