I am in a rush and I am almost certain that if I did some better searching, I could find such code without having to bother all of you, but...
Does anyone know where I can find some LISP code that does all the basic HMM algorithms (forward, Viterbi, Baum-Welch, etc.)? I could definitely roll my own, but, like I said, I am in a rush these days.

I would appreciate very frank advice on what I should do with my start up, Anaphoric Systems (http://www.anaphoric.com).
The whole effort started as a research project several years ago, but when I was informed that I actually owned the system, I entered a business plan competition and then started to execute on the plan.
The problem is that I have been wearing two hats: 'researcher/educator' and 'entrepreneur'. This has led to conflicts of interest as well as diluted effectiveness. So basically I need to decide if I am going to 1.) quit my tenured position, move to a start-up hub, find a partner, get-funding, etc. or 2.) open source the whole project and treat it as a research project. (It's 18k lines of LISP). I suppose in case 2 I could always do something commercial if the system was of high impact.
I am leaning toward option 2, but I thought I should run my plan by the YC community first.
