Qi 7.3 has been successfuly run under SBCL for Windows. The system is
available from the home site www.lambdassociates.org.
The new release incorporates some minor patches to 7.2 and an
enhancement to the performance of the object code (Lisp) generated.
Qi now runs under 3 implementations of CL; CLisp, CMUCL and SBCL under
both Windows and Linux.
Thanks to Yaroslav Kavenchuk for his significant contribution to the
port of Qi to SBCL. The next release should be the Allegro port.

Just FYI, I've installed it under sbcl on Mac OS X intel. The test
suite seems to have some problem which I haven't diagnosed, but several
of the example programs seem to run just fine.

Ah; as I said to Yaroslav, the test suite was designed as a tool for
*myself* for testing the internals of each new release. To use it
effectively requires knowing exactly what to type in and what to
expect as a response because parts are interactive. And it covers a
whole range of tests including all the stuff in FPQi and beyond (e.g.
Qi-Prolog and Qi-YACC which many people have not yet got around to
exploring much). I never expected people to use this - its the
'engineer's hatch' to the system purely for testing releases.
I think in future I'll comment this suite much more if people want to
run their own tests.
You can send me a script of the problem if you like, and I'll see if
its for real.
Great it seems to run under Mac OS X.

Ah, I see now - I expected a set of automated tests - I didn't realize
at first that the test suite requires user input since there's no
prompt for it. So the test suite appears to run correctly too.

Yes, it does. Congratulations and good luck.

I felt it would have been polite to post a short sentence about it, not
expecting everyone to have a browser handy. Anyway, I wasn't *that*
interested.

Not quite sure whether Boris was joking here or honestly
misunderstanding:
"Handy" is slang for mobile telephone in certain non-english-speaking
countries like germany (native british english speakers would
say "mobile" or perhaps just "phone" as the default assumption would
often be a mobile phone these days, american english often use "cell").
The english idiom "to have something handy" means to have it "to hand",
that is to say "available nearby, ready for use".
FWIW, full-blown gnu emacs 20 was ported to ms-wince, so likely would
run on various PDA/phones, though not necessarily comfortably:

Thanks for explaining.
Point was, I found Andreas's complaint a bit excessive, and first meant to ask
him whether he was alluding to reading comp.lang.lisp with a phone...
...then stumbled on the choice of a universal name for "cellphone" and thus
noted that Andreas ended his sentence with a handy "handy"
- while being endowed with a german-sounding first name (so that I took the
occurrence of "handy" as confirming that indeed he had a phone in mind... if not
in hand)
last, emacs is Andreas's user-agent according to the headers of his post.
