Dear Aaron,
Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I had seen it, yes. However, I decided
against it. This is why. Last week, I blogged an article about a joke
generator someone had written in not-quite-portable Lisp ( see
http://www.j-paine.org/dobbs/lisp_joke_generator.html ). Yesterday,
a reader mailed me to say they'd modified the code to make it portable
to Common Lisp. I was going to blog another article about this, and
explain how to run it under SBCL (Steel Bank Common Lisp). Then it
occurred to me that perhaps I should recommend trying Poplog Lisp too. But
doing so natively under Windows seemed easier for readers than via
andLinux.

Dear Jocelyn,
I have just seen your message as I was about to leave to visit
someone.
I wonder whether you have looked at or tried the solution here
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/projects/poplog/winpop/andl
It starts:
Poplog-on-andLinux_InstallationGuide
A guide to installing poplog on Windows with andLinux.
The following describes the process I went through to get poplog
running on Windows with andLinux. It is not intended to be a
comprehensive guide. Almost no consideration is given to options
of software version or configuration. It assumes much knowledge
of configuring Linux and running poplog-on-Linux. It is intended
simply to allow others to replicate what I did. In other words,
although much of the following is worded imperatively it should
be read as, "This is what I did." You may have the experience to
know better.

If it works, it should give you the full functionality of linux
poplog on windows.
It would be useful to have a report back on the instructions (do
they need any necessary additions, improvements, etc.) and how well
the system works. I am not a windows user and have not had time to
try borrwing my wife's machine to test this out.
