I assume its the linux build because we are having a devil of a time getting full ISO-8859-1 encodings to work under windows.
But perhaps that's because I want to support Swedish characters. Maybe I should kill that requirement.
In any case this is great news because I was a bit concerned about going all the way to market on CLISP. Some manager at Boeing was suggesting to me that I might need to go with Allegro or something else. It sounded expensive. And my belief now is that I need to keep costs/prices low/reasonable to enter my market. But in the end I think the manager was just expressing his FUD about open source.
- jey 19y agoI know nothing about CLISP, but you might want to switch to a Unix platform just because the Unix ports are probably better maintained. If there's actually a character encoding bug, it could go for months without being fixed under Windows.
- anaphoric 19y agoYes we are supporting both Linux and Windows. And Linux definitely has been better behaved. Still it hasn't been too bad under windows. It's just when we want to do something like support foreign characters then we run into trouble.
