So features like sets are not possible in a shared library? I think
that was one of the main features I saw in the SDK that is not in the
XCMD shared library.

Yes, Common Lisp exists on Windows and just about every other
platform including Unix and Linux.

Common Lisp is an ANSI standard language for which there are many
implementations just like C, C++, or Java environments.

Here is a starting point for anyone who wants to know more about Lisp:

http://www.lisp.org/table/applications.htm

This is a nice article about how Lisp was used to develop Yahoo Store
and discusses its advantages compared to other programming languages:

Ok, I'll check this out with one or more Lisp implementations on Windows.

Thanks!
