Free? If so, I don't know. Otherwise, there's Golden Common Lisp. It has a
close connection to Winston and Horne of MIT. I think there's a cut-rate
student edition. Check out their book on LISP--it mentions GCL inside the
back cover.

XLISP 2.x is a decent subset of Common LISP that is usable on an XT.
It is readily available from CIS, BIX and many BBS'.
There is also Sapphire Common LISP, which, last time I reviewed it, was
about $100. Unfortunately, I don't have an address handy and the
product itself is in storage.

I asked a similar question a week or so ago (I want to run OPS5 on a
PC) and have received only pointers to Golden Lisp.
One reply however did mention XLISP which is based on Common lisp and
has object oriented extensions. I managed to get OPS5 to load ok
- after much hacking - common lisp has things in it that wheren't
there when I last used lisp :-(, but unfortunately it doesn't run OK.
You can get a version of XLISP (for PC, amiga, mac & unix) from a
site with an FTP number of 128.193.32.1. I didn't write the name
down but found it by searching the list of sites that'll accept
anonymous FTP requests and looking for LISP. The version there is #2
which is later than that at CLUTX.CLARKSON.EDU which has version
#1.7. It has lots of documentation and seems like rather a nice system.
Hope this is useful
