Is it possible that the message alert / dialog / window is simply being opened behind the one in which you're running the Clojure REPL? Also, it's probably prudent to be running a recent release of either version 1.5 or 1.6 of Sun's JVM / JDK. > Also, has anyone written a more detailed guide to getting up and > running on a Windows system.

I don't use Emacs (nor do I use Windows for my programming work), but since the REPL is itself purely character-oriented, there should be no real problem using it on Windows. Cygwin (<http://cygwin.com/>) is always highly recommended for programmers saddled with Windows! SLIME is an Emacs-based development environment for programming Lisp under Emacs (technically, "The Superior Lisp Interaction Mode for Emacs"). You might want to check out "Like Slime, for Vim": <http://technotales.wordpress.com/2007/10/03/like-slime-for-vim/>. > Is Enclojure ready for prime-time? On Windows? I'm not really qualified to say, but I will anyway: YES! But seriously, insofar as Java and Swing are fully supported and co-equal for Windows, MacOS and Linux, Clojure is likewise fully supported on all three platforms. > Looking forward to trying more Clojure, > > Mark Randall Schulz --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
