Does anyone know if it's possible to get one's hands on a copy of
Franz Lisp? Ray Toy's question about strings got me wondering about
their implementation in this old dialect. Any of the manuals, the
source, and/or an executable version would be interesting, although
I'd be especially interested in the latter.
Anyone have any pointers? (*cough* *cough* ... anyone from Franz, for
example?)

Shoot, I was hoping someone might have something more recent. Looks
like there's a NetBSD installation in my future...

The 386 variant ran under NetBSD before it switched from a.out to ELF, it
would require a fair bit of work to get Franz to build under a more modern
OS. You might be able to chroot NetBSD-1.0 on NetBSD-5.0 to build Franz
then run the executables directly on NetBSD-5.0.
You could also try doing a VAX build in SIMH or a 68k build on a Mac.
I did Franz Lisp ports myself and did a fair bit of low level hacking on
it, what do you want to know ?
