I finally have an interesting need for Corman Lisp, I want to run
cl-selenium under it. The website http://www.cormanlisp.com is up and
I downloaded the trial 3.01 version. The forum mentions a 3.02
version in several places. Version 3.0 Corman CL is supposed to
autodownload patches at startup, and back when I tried CCL 4 years ago,
I did get patches automatically (probably version 2.5).
The image dates from April 2007, the *cormanlisp-patch-level* is
reported as 0. Trying to patch manually just returns 'nil' from the
patch update function. So I haven't any patches locally.
Anyone know if Corman is still active? They were always a small Bay
Area company, so perhaps the economic downturn did them in? If I can
get cl-selenum running, along with slime, I'm happy to purchase (they
always had a nice token fee for licensing :-).
Note to those that always make other suggestions: you gotta have
unicode and threads actually working. LW and ACL do not have token
fees.
TIA

Perhaps this is no option for you, but if it is not a must to use
cl-selenium you may want to consider htmlunit:
http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/
You can use it from ABCL (I think). I use it in Clojure, and it works
very well.

Lisp is not dead. It’s just the URL that has changed:

I have no idea about the fate of Corman Lisp, but in the case the worse
has happened, take a look to Clozure Common Lisp. There is a version for
win32 I'm about to test, it supports threads, unicode and is licensed
under the LLGPL.

Did you try emailing or calling them?

I don't know whether they're still alive or not; Although Corman lisp
is fine for many things (like w32 standalone applications etc) it is
known to be slower and less eficient than other free implementations
like ECL for example).
