Just to avoid any confusion, what I have is a Franz Lisp, with
compiler, that runs in 386BSD and that (because it compiles to C and
replaces some .s files with .c) should be more portable than ordinary
Franz. Franz Lisp is a particular dialect of Lisp. It's similar
to MacLisp. If you just want _a_ Lisp for 386BSD, a number of other
ones (eg, AKCL, several Schemes) are available.
I am going to make this Franz availabel for ftp. But various things
(such as a disk failure) are getting in the way.
