   However the MCL development environment is still better than ACL/PC's, so I
   would prefer to be able to develop on MCL and emulate that on ACL/PC.
   Additionally the powerpc market may be even be more attractive than windows
   in the future.

Another alternative for constructing Windows applications is to
develop on LispWorks (on a UNIX System), then use Harlequin's
PC-Transducer to generate a Windows application automatically.
