Hi, I'm new to Lisp and I'm trying to setup a Clisp+emacs+slime
environment on windows. The installation instruction for Clisp says I
need to configure it then build lispinit.mem then copy lisp.exe and
lispinit.mem to a build folder before I can use it. While I found that
simply running Clisp.exe will do the job. Is there a difference? What
am I missing here?

How about using this http://common-lisp.net/pcl/windows/lispbox-0.7-clisp-2.37.zip
from http://www.gigamonkeys.com/lispbox/ CLisp version is older 2.37
vs newest 2.42
but for starter it won't really matter. You only have to unzip it and
you're good to code.
Beside you get bundled it with code from http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/
cheers

Peter has done a great job with PCL, your money has been well spent
supporting him and Apress.

I agree 100%, and I am only on page 218.
Yeah I've tried that. It's just that I'm used to my own emacs configs
and the emacs wrapped by the lispbox seems a bit awkward to me.

why not using sbcl. i tried clisp before and i did not like it because
- the online documentation
- the speed
i changed to sbcl and to me this is much better. you just download it &
adjust your .emacs, ready.
Ciao

If you're just starting, and you're using SLIME as your environment,
it's not a big deal to switch implementations. I think I went Clisp =>
OpenMCL => SBCL before I settled down.
