Don't remember exactly how much money, but I do remember my jaw dropping.
It's priced well out of the personal/hobbyist range.

Could XLISP /  XLISP-STAT be a possiblity? The XLISP-STAT version is very
Windows-friendly and complete. It uses a different object system. However,
it will run closette. Is closette enough of a CLOS for CM? Xlisp isn't
entirely Common Lisp, but maybe the changes are small enough so that it
could be dealt with.
