I am _very_ sure this is not true. Goldhill 4 works as 16 bit windows
application and has windows libraries while Goldhill 5 is 32 bit windows.
CLOS implementation seems to be very early stage. If run as interpreted code
(if I remember correct even in compiled form) it 'randomly' starts compiling
during runtime.

But indeed, normally they don't even answer mails. I got one answer from
them because they misunderstood me and thought I might be an interested
distributor. All other request on how to buy their product, on bugs or on
obtaining a support contract have not been answered - there have been
several.

I had to work on a legacy applicaton in Golden Common LISP. I rewrote part
of their windows libraries to make the old app run under Lispworks. But I
don't owe the copyright on these libraries. I cannot give them away but I
might establish a contact to the owner if a cooperation might be of
interest. You can contact me at andreas <at-sign> atp-media.de
