That's the closest I have ever come to a real /live/ LispM, if you don't count looking at what was little more than garbage... It would probably be quite possible to link Emacs with the stuff from the Flux OS Kit and create a standalone operating system as well. I'm really surprised someone hasn't done it yet. I know that the Rice PLT guys did it with their Scheme implementation, for instance, and it supposedly took only five hours to get their new 'SchemeOS' running. MChome | help
