If you mean Virtual PC for the Mac (I vague remember there being something
like that) then I have no experience.
I boot Windows (NT, W2k, XP) under vmware under linux and compile windows
versions of my programs with LW pro/Win. Never had a problem.

About 1.5 years with lispworks, perhaps 2 with mingw, and ever since
vmware came out with everything else (Visual-<mumble>, etc.). It has
been solid for me. Even when I did odd (unsuppotred) stuff like run
it on a diskless machine and keep its virtual disks on NFS, it was not
flaky. But I do most of my development under Linux and mainly just
compile and sometimes debug FFI issues on windows. (the guy who
tests, does it on native windows but I never had an unreproducable
bug report due to this).
hope this helps,
BM

I ran Lispworks about 6 months ago in Virtual PC. It ran slowly but otherwise well. On my 1 Ghz 1 Gigabyte Powerbook G4, it ran sort of like a 200 Mhz Pentium with 300 Meg of memory. -- Lawrence Au -- Lawrence Au On Monday, November 1, 2004, at 04:07 AM, Espen Vestre wrote: > Mika Kuuskankare <mkuuskan@siba.fi> writes: > >> Has anybody tried to run LispWorks in a Windows emulator, e.g., >> Virtual PC? > > I did some experiments with wine 18 months ago, it worked reasonably > well. > -- > (espen) >
