IQLISP, a substantial and impressive LISP system from Integral
Quality, is now available.  My copy arrived last Tuesday.  It has a
lot more features than you would expect to find for $125 (see ad in
Byte).  The manual is very complete and very well written.  In several
hours or playing with the software, I encountered no major problems.
I do find garbage left on the screen when exiting from a full-screen
window.  (This might be related to the fact I am running under DOS
2.00 with the ANSI.SYS console driver.)

Some of the advanced features include:

  .  arbitrary precision integer arithmetic  (FACTORIAL(69) prints
     our a number with 99 digits!)
  .  character strings to length 32000
  .  macros
  .  floating point  and  8087 support
  .  output windows on the display
  .  a sophisticated error monitor
  .  structure editor
  .  support for interfacing assembly language routines
  .  compacting garbage collector

All in all I am impressed.
