Hi everybody.

  I have received a lot of mail for below question.

# I want to use Common Lisp such as ExCL, KCL and AKCL.
# Is there anyone out who can use such Lisp on 486 machines, and
# on which OS do they run?
        
  I am pleased very much that I could receive quick mail.
And I also have some mails that say post summery of the answers,
so I summerize the answers here.

  timd@aiai.ed.ac.uk, kem@zoyd.prl.ufl.edu and brent@jade.ssd.csd.harris.com
recommend me to see the Lisp FAQ, especially part 4.

  nho@nguyen.ruhr.de, p.k.h.gragert@math.utwente.nl,habaoch@eng.auburn.edu,
cracauer@hanse.de (Martin Cracauer) and dlj0@Lehigh.EDU
suggested to use CLISP on Linux. dlj0@Lehigh.EDU also AKCL on Linux
was OK.

  emi@Franz.COM, poeck@informatik.uni-wuerzburg.d400.de and
patl@goldfish.mitron.tek.com 's letter says we can use Allegro CL/PC on
WIndows3.1

  Thank you all of them very much!! But I feel giddy there are many
candidates...
If there were a discussion about comparing among Lisps, please let me know..
