I updated the FAQ a few days ago and it will appear on the next
regular posting, on the 13th.

GNU Common Lisp (GCL) is a free implementation of Common Lisp (CLtL1)
based originally on Austin Kyoto Common Lisp (AKCL). Versions 1.0
and above of GCL (aka version 1-625 and above of AKCL) are
available under the GNU General Public Library License v2.0, and no
longer require the kcl.tar file to build the system. For
information on previous versions of AKCL, see the KCL entry. GCL
generates C code which it compiles with the local optimizing C
compiler (e.g., GCC). It is intended to eventually support the
ANSI standard for Common Lisp. GCL version 1.0 and above are
available by anonymous ftp from
ftp.cli.com:/pub/gcl/ [192.31.85.129]
math.utexas.edu:/pub/gcl/ [128.83.133.215]
as the file gcl-X.X.tgz (e.g., gcl-1.0.tgz), and from
rascal.ics.utexas.edu:/pub/akcl/ [128.83.138.20]
as the file akcl-X-X.tgz, where XX should be replaced with the version
number; you'll generally want the largest version number. The
bandwidth to rascal and math is higher than cli. For more information, write
