I would like to second previous opinions on Gold Hill's technology.  I've seen
the Mac port of GoldWorks, and it is great.  The PC version of GoldWorks II
suffered from the slowness of the Hummingboard/Windows software interface, but
other versions do not have this problem.  In fact, for medium-scale
applications, GoldWorks II really fit our needs well.  If anyone knows of a
cash-rich company, I'd suggest that they look into acquiring pieces of Gold
Hill's product line.  I can't speak for the Golden Common LISP products, but
I did hear interesting things about a Windows 3.0/386 version that would
have solved most of the current problems with PC GoldWorks II.
