Yup, I tried it briefly on a + with 1 Meg [a real one, with lots of inits, so it beats FullWrite], and tried loading one of their demos. It spent most of the time GCing. If you've got 1 Meg, I suspect you'll be tempted to go for ExperCommon Lisp. Don't. The "Common" is a breach of the Trade Descriptions Act. Buy an upgrade to 2 Meg. With that, you can even run PCL, which you should. [PCL running in ECL? Hah! It might be easier to port it to Fortran.] -- From: flash@cs.qmc.ac.uk (Flash Sheridan) Reply-To: sheridan@nss.cs.ucl.ac.uk Portal,MacNet: FlashsMom
