That''s weak.
I do hope you have fun next time you decide to construct a C++ pluggable factory or something of that ilk.

Lisp as a scripting language

I looked around at some of the available implementations, but they were all lacking at least one of the qualities I wanted (chiefly, must be cross-platform, have C++ source code supplied, must be usable as an interpreter rather than a compiler, and a few other bits and pieces).
So what''s wrong with clisp?

That did appear to be a contender, but the source code is all in lisp. I really wanted an implementation in which the very fundamental stuff is written in C or C++, like Corman Lisp for example.

No it isn''t! The kernel (lisp.exe) is written in C, and the Lisp source layers functionality over that. It sounds like you don''t actually have the source distribution.
Ah, you''re right. I guess all the .d files threw me. Still, I''m happy with my decision to go it alone. I''m learning a lot more this way.

For the record, I got Corman Lisp and played with it at lunch. It looks dandy and the featureset is quite nice.
The lisence says I can run programs from the console indefinitely, which is nice. I was getting used to that in GCL w/ emacs.
