HTML is very simple, I am sure you kind find someone near by to help

Why do you say that? I also believe that it should run on windows.

When I first did the tests for running the basic "little webserver
in Lisp" I was running it all in Axiom on Windows.

No, that is a completely different issue - a problem with not having
any support for X-windows plus a few other details like pty etc.

GCL on windows should work fine.

I suppose now you are going to ask me to spend my time to
