You might look into Software Engineer from Raindrop Software Corporation.  The 
package is a Lisp based development environment for Windows 3.0.  I don't know 
how close the implementation is to Common Lisp, but it looks like DDE is very 
easy to implement.  Uses about 250k of disk space, 286 or better with 2 megs 
ram,... No stand-alone exe with current release, but planned for next release 
(3Q91).  Can use up to 16 Meg of memory, generates 286 specific code, and 
(from the brochure and a phone call) appears to be a well thought out product. 

For more information call Raindrop at 214/234-2611, fax-214/234-2674, or
write Raindrop Software Corporation
      845 Arapaho Rd., Suite 105
      Richardson, TX  75081

Disclaimer: I haven't actually used the product and am not connected with RSC
in any way, but if you have and aren't either I'd like to know what you think
of Software Engineer.
