is there any working lisp or lisp like interpreter for the apple II or IIe.
I am teaching a class on basic lisp and the apple is the most accessable
computer. Anything will do!

It was what got me interested in computer science. This was once a product of Apple, and if they still own up to having coded it, it may be available. I have an old copy here, but I am not sure about legality considerations. -- ------- Disclaimer: Everything I say is probably a trademark of someone.

There was/is a decent LISP for native Apple II called P-LISP by Pegasys Systems, Inc, 4005 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104, 215/387-1500. For the adventuresome, LISP interpreter sources were published in Byte (Aug 79 for 6800 CPU) and Dr. Dobb's (No. 30 for 8080 CPU). If you have the plug-in 6800 or Z80 boards for Apple, you could run these. I actually ran the 8080 version on my Apple without a Z80 CPU, using a program which interpreted 8080 machine code for the 6502! I didn't even try to do any work with this, I just wanted to see it run (er, crawl).
