I'd received quite a few requests for information about GCL, so I decided to
put it on this newsgroup.  Sorry for the slight delay.

The software is (the manuals say) a complete implementation of Common Lisp
for the IBM PC.  The hardware requirements are a PC/AT or 100% compatible,
5 Mb of RAM and 10 Mb of free disk space.  The software comprises of the
Listener, debugger, compiler, inspector and a GMACS editor.  The package
includes an extensive set of user and reference manuals.  [They also send
you the two books on CL - Steele/Winston & Horn].

There is apparently a version of Halo Graphics whose routines are callable
by GCLisp.  This is marketed by a company called Media Cybernetics, MA.  
Unfortunately, I do not have their address currently.  

Hope the above information helps.  Enjoy.
