Hi, looks like in other Lisp implementations it is not defined, for example in GCL on my iPAQ: http://www.frank-buss.de/tmp/gcl3.jpg @LispWorks: Is it possible to port LispWorks to Intel ARM systems? Would be nice for many handhelds and embedded systems. Regards, Frank

I was developing an application in C++ for a customer, who developed an embedded system with an ARM PXA CPU running Linux (with 32 MB flash and 32 MB RAM) and while writing it the last year, my idea was that many things could be done easier in Lisp, especially the configuration dialogs and routing settings (it is a music studio equipment device with a TFT display and many digital and analog I/Os for analyzing, routing and synthesizing surround and multi-channel audio signals in real time). I propose the customer to write a little prototype in Lisp for free, just to see if it is possible and to learn a bit more Lisp. The idea was something flexible like LabView (the platform has DSPs on-board and a FPGA, which should be configurable by the Lisp program in a very dynamic way). Perhaps next month I'll get one platform, so I started testing with GCL on my Linux iPAQ, which has a StrongARM and should not be very different from the machine code of an Xscale ARM CPU (but I don't know).
