Concerning Erik Naggum comments to acl4w

it was no better than a randomly chosen Windows application (i.e., it

I do not agree to your comments. ACL4w was slow on number crunching (e.g. the
pfannkuch benchmark, that Ken Anderson tested), but reasonable fast on the GUI
side. The only think that always worried me was the 32K limit in the editor.

I never got used to the emacs way of using a LISP IDE and prefer the ACL
environment over the win-emacs interface.
