In my opinion, CLIM in general is not suitable for a newbie to CL. The difference in feel from modern windowing systems like MS Windows, KDE, Gnome, OS X is non trivial. It can work on Windows though, I've gotten it to work in ACL by modifying the clx path junk. And of course running an X server. For a while I was working on a ggi backend that would be portable across windowing systems, but that kinda got pushed back due to too much work and school. See http://andystuff.com. Ugh, I need to update that. _______________________________________________ Gardeners mailing list [email protected] http://www.lispniks.com/mailman/listinfo/gardeners
