Which Lisp implementation are you using?

On my Windows machine, I am using Lisp in a Box, with clisp 2.33. On
my Linux machine, I am using cmucl dated 2008-04-08.

When you use COMPILE-FILE, you get a piece of compiled Lisp code.
The Lisp code is not portable between different Lisp implementations,
but you can move the compiled code (the 'fasl' file) to another machine,
start the Lisp implementation there and load the compiled file.
So, when you have, say, LispWorks on both Windows machines
you can compile the file on one machine, copy the file to the
other machine and LOAD the file there into LispWorks.
If you have function calls in the file, they will be executed
upon loading - you can also call the defined functions
after loading the compiled file.

I looked at LispWorks now, and almost fell out of my chair at the
prices. I am a student and frankly cannot afford this product. Does
the Personal Edition create exe files? The blurb says that it does not
support application delivery?

I don't need an IDE. I do just fine with Emacs.

Thanks, CC.
