Santos,

 You do not specifically exclude Scheme, so I will assume that you
 include it in the concept "Lisp" and recommend xscheme by Dave Betz.

 I happen to have downloaded xscheme from the Compuserve cyberplus forum
 but you should be able to find it on any decent computer-oriented BBS.

 xscheme.zip includes all source code required so that you can compile
 it from scratch if you have a "C" compiler; I compiled it using Turbo
 C++ 3.0 on my 486DX without a hitch.

>Santos,

The following is excerpt from ~ftp/pub/compilers-list/FreeCompilers*
on idiom.berkeley.ca.us
This document attempts to catalog freely availiable compilers,
interpreters, libraries, and language tools.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
language:       Common Lisp
package:        CLISP
version:        ?
parts:          bytecode compiler, translator(->C), runtime, library, editor
author:         Bruno Haible <······@ma2s2.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de>,
                Michael Stoll <·······@rhein.iam.uni-bonn.de>
how to get:     ftp pub/lisp/clisp from ma2s2.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de
description:    CLISP is a Common Lisp (CLtL1) implementation by Bruno Haible
                of Karlsruhe University and Michael Stoll of Munich University,
                both in Germany.  It needs only 1.5 MB of RAM.  German and
                English versions are available, French coming soon.  Packages
                running in CLISP include PCL and, on Unix machines, CLX.
conformance:    CLISP is mostly CLtL1 compliant.  It implements 99% of the
                standard
ports:          Atari, Amiga, MS-DOS, OS/2, Linux, Sun4, Sun386i, HP90000/800
                and others

Howdy,

Is is possible to get CLISP from a U.S. ftp site? I am particularly
interested in the DOS port. (DPMI under windows would be ideal).

Also, a repackaging (perhaps, bin + lib + src) would be very
desirable. My student account craps out on FTP's > 1 Meg or so.

I am sure that many student accounts in universities are set up
in a similar manner.

Anyway, I look forward to test driving CLISP once I can ftp it!
