I realize this has probably come up before, but... Ibuki is working on a port to Microsoft Windows. At the time I talked to their representative, he didn't know what their pricing would be. I just hope that they don't "do a Gold Hill" and price themselves out of the market. Borland and Microsoft have become rich selling C, BASIC, and Pascal compilers for $100. Anyone who offers full Common Lisp at in the price range will sell thousands and thousands of units. -- Carl Kadie --- kadie@cs.uiuc.edu University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign === Today the NEA and alt.sex, tomorrow our public libraries ===
