Hi, I am planing to write a program for a bigger project, becurse it is a hobby-project i can choose language, and i have wanted to make somthing i LISP for a long time, and in the same time learn the language.
I have som question that i can't find any good answer so if some one with more skill than me could help i would be were tankfull.
Plattform is Windows
Witch LISP should i select ? IDE, Editor etc is rekommended. ? Witch GUI System is rekommended ?
After the project is ready, i would be nice if i can pack it all inom som kind of installation, so a user can just run a installation and use the program, is there any good way of doing this?
Becurse this is a Hobby thing, i don't have mony to by stuff as Allergro or LispWorks.

Did you find Emacs or SBCL lacking? If there are reasons, perhaps people could direct you to something more appropriate. Though maybe you're just seeing if things have changed in the past 6 months...
In terms of FOSS IDEs, you can also check out Eclipse + CUSP. [1] There's also ABLE, but it doesn't have debugger integration. [2] I haven't used either so I can't evaluate them.

To my knowledge there are no (free) installer-creators that are Lisp specific. What you'd need to do is find a Lisp compiler that can generate a Windows EXE, then use separate software that generates a Windows installer. For a list of installer creators, see

Actually, to correct myself: that's not necessarily true. e.g. you could bundle a Lisp interpreter with the code, and put that into an installer. My core point was that you don't need something Lisp- specific to make an installer.
