I have
previously mentioned how it is possible to configure
LispWorks Personal (the trial version of LispWorks) for use with
SLIME. The same approach can be used to configure the
Professional/Enterprise versions of LispWorks if you want to make use
of both the LispWorks IDE and Emacs/SLIME. However, I usually prefer
to work entirely within Emacs/SLIME and don't use the LispWorks IDE at
all. In that scenario, the LispWorks IDE is just extra "clutter". So,
I usually run LispWorks configured to run in
"console mode" so that the LispWorks IDE is not brought up; however,
this does need a little bit of setup as there is no "console mode"
LispWorks executable shipped with the software.
