Re: 'Naïve' indenting in the IDE

John,

I currently run Corman Lisp as an inferior Lisp using Emacs.  It's not as sophisticated as ilisp, but it works well enough.  There's no type-ahead, but indenting, lisp interaction, symbol menu, hyperspec integration, etc. are all working.

I believe I followed the directions from Bill Clementson that are on the CL-Cookbook, and I was inspired to do so by the previous postings on this list by Edi Wietz.   Edi, incidentally, was able to get ilisp to work and posted directions on this forum (in February 2003?)
