Well, if you can't afford anything more than free then dump Windows
and install Linux instead, you'll find heaps of free software for that
OS including several high-quality Common Lisp implementations like
CMUCL and SBCL both of which will work with TBNL.

If you want to stick with Windows and you're just using this to learn
Lisp you can install a free trial version of one of the commercial
Lisps - both AllegroCL from Franz Inc. and LispWorks from LispWorks
Ltd. will work with TBNL.  AllegroCL can also be integrated into your
Lisp In A Box setup AFAIK.  LispWorks has its own IDE that's very easy
to use.

Cheers,
Edi.
