I think such a guide is included in the CLISP paclage if I remember
correctly and it is excellent (if I remember correctly).

I believe this was a suggestion that you get the CLISP package.

Also - not exactly quick, but very complete and free is the Common Lisp

Yes, I thought you would download the CLISP package from the LISP home page.
As far as I know it is the only package that supports very high precision
floating point arithmetic. (All CL implemantations support rational
arithmetic with arbitrary precision). I like CLISP very much and it is
available on virtually every platform.

The book by Lamkins referred to in this thread *is* excellent but it is a
text book and not exactly a "quick guide". (I have looked at a few books for
beginners and think that the book by Lamkins is the best one. After reading
it you can read STEEL.

spend the necessary time to transfer the whole tarball to your own
computer. if it still isn't exactly quick, upgrade your computer. :)
