What is the state of CommonLisp on 80386 based machines, such as
the Compaq 386.  It seems as though this machine could be reasonable
for lisp.  Has anyone looked into this possibility?  If so, the questions
that I have are:

Is there a virtual memory operating system that will support large programs?

How good are the CommonLisp implementation available?

Thanks in advance for any info anyone can pass along, I will summarize
the info I get,  -Jeff
