Re: [clisp-list] CLISP wanted: GUI

[Dan S. <dan...@ie...>]

As someone who has some experience with porting gui's I think the easiest
thing to do is to make garnet work on win32.  We are close to that,
I planned to work on it as soon as I finish packing my house, in
preparing to move.  Then, we should concentrate on McClim, as that
is the most modern lisp gui, which would make clisp more functionally
compatible
with modern lisps.
