I got a card today from Gold Hill. It announces that
"Golden Common Lisp Developer 4.0 Running Under Microsoft Windows 3.0"
is shipping. It doesn't mention a price.

***start editorial***
Recall that while Microsoft and Borland have gotten rich selling
selling PC computer languages for between $100 and $500 (not
just C either, Pascal and Basic, too.), Golden Hill has tried
to sell PC Common Lisp for $2000 a copy. It also nearly
went out of business
***end editorial****

I called to find the prices. Still $1995 regular/$595 university.

Oh well, bye-bye Gold Hill.
