hello if you check out the latest cm2 line the documentation for it  
should be correct:
it has nothing to do with windows, its pure common lisp:

svn co http://commonmusic.svn.sf.net/svnroot/commonmusic/branches/cm2  
cm2

If you want to use examples in notes from the metalevel you will need  
to use the cm2 line of common music.  Most of the examples should work  
inthe most recent version of cm2 (2.12.0), but there are undoubtabvly  
some issues since the book is now four years old. you can use cm2 with  
emacs, or with GraceCL, a gui that replaces emacs/slime (include synta  
highlighting and provides all the common emacs keyboard commands) the  
GraceCl app is actually part of cm3 (its a stripped down version of  
Grace that works with common lisp.

to check out cm3 sources do:

svn co http://commonmusic.svn.sf.net/svnroot/commonmusic/trunk cm

you can build it on windows if you have mingw/msys. look in the  
archives to this list for step by step instruction how to build it (or  
see readme.text)
