If you choose to use a PC then Allegro CL for Windows is the best I have seen,
you get a full CLOS development environment plus a Windows graphical interface
and interface builder. VB and VC++ seem so popular in the PC world
yet I cannot think of anything they do that can't be done similarly
or easier in ACL for Windows. Plus you can use everything else CL and
CLOS are uniquely good at...
