Hi
I'm new to Arc and want to use it with emacs
on windows (WIN32).
(I run ccl clisp and sbcl on emacs without any problem, but can't do it with ARC)
I can run Arc on Racket as a console only.
Please help.
Thanks

Worst case, you can run `M-x shell`, then inside the shell window, run `racket -f as.scm` . I assume you want to get SLIME working with Arc? I've never bothered.
If I'm confused, how do you run clisp/sbcl/ccl in Emacs?
Hi
Thanks for your reply.
Yes I want get slime working with Arc...
I run clisp/sbcl/ccl in Emacs as follow:
1-Using lispBox or lisp-cabinet.(with slime and quicklisp)
2.Using emacs with my own .emacs configuration.(with slime)

I do keep meaning to get SLIME set up, but haven't actually tried yet. If you list what problems you run into, people will be able to help you more easily.
You know, every once in a while I consider setting up slime, or at least looking at it, but I've never used slime before and I don't really know what it offers.
What are your favorite features of slime, and why would I want to use it over just emacs + arc.el + repl-in-shell?
Hi
As there is no slime support for Arc I tried to load
arc.el to emacs but, it failed with this message:
arc.el:411:30:Error: Required feature `cl-macs' was not provided.
Hi
I'm using emacs Emacs 23.3.1 and cl-macs.el is installed.
I type arc-mode and I get Arc in the menu, but when i choose Run inferior-arc error message:error: Required feature `cl-macs' was not provide.
Thanks
What is arc.el? There's no arc-mode for Emacs that I know of. What are you expecting to happen when you type M-x arc ? Where did you get arc.el?
I wrote up instructions on how to get SLIME working with Arc, but I don't have a Windows box to test on. Can you translate the directions to Windows, and then see if it works for you? http://arclanguage.org/item?id=14998 Notably, you don't start SLIME by typing M-x arc-mode; you start it by typing M-x slime .
Ah. This isn't SLIME. As akkartik said, it's likely that no one here uses it. If you want to try SLIME, follow my instructions here: http://arclanguage.org/item?id=14998
I definitely use arc.el on a regular basis, though I won't claim to be familiar with the finer points of its capabilities. As far as I'm concerned, it offers reasonable highlighting and indentation for arc code; I haven't tried to get it to do much else. For most of my lisp editing needs, I rely on paredit.
