Yes, I think that's what's wrong. Given that I'm trying to learn many
things at once in the new world of Lisp, I think I should really stick
with a multi-threaded Lisp environment to make my development/test cycle
easier. Unfortunately, the only Lisps I know would work are ACL and
OpenMCL in my environment. I've never been able to make OpenMCL work with
the ucw_ajax "branch" and ACL's licensing fees are too steep for me at the
moment to learn with. Any suggestions?

I could always setup a remote Linux box with SBCL and just develop
remotely. I've tested that with swank fine. However, it requires that I be
online all the time when developing and that's not always the case since I
spend a lot of time on the road.

Look forward to getting the new changes and learning from them.

Thanks,
