Any info in this area is appreceated I know of three LISPs available for 3Bs. * XLISP is a public-domain lisp interpreter written in C. It shows up periodically in net.sources and PC bulletin boards. It's object-oriented and works pretty well; the latest version is supposedly 1.6? * LISP-TC is an AT&T Toolchest product, identical to exptools lisp internally. It's small and MacLispish; it was written to be an internal user-supported tool rather than a formal product. As with all Toolchest products, you need a source license, and it does cost (some) money. I know it runs on VAXen and 3B20s; I don't know about 3B2 or 3B5 but it probably does. * Franz Lisp, of Berkeley 4.* fame, is commercially sold and supported by Franz Inc., in Berkeley, and is available for 3Bs. This is a commercial product and it's not cheap. But it *is* Franz. -- # Bill Stewart, AT&T Bell Labs 2G-202, Holmdel NJ 1-201-949-0705 ihnp4!ho95c!wcs

This is a Common Lisp written (almost) entirely in C and as such should be fairly portable. You can get the source relatively cheaply and although there are been numerous bugs (most vanilla code seems to run ok, there have been problems in some convoluted stuff, and in large source files) in past releases, things may be getting better.

AT&T contracted Franz Inc to port both Franz Lisp and ExCL (Extended Common Lisp) to the various 3b processors. Franz is released, but the 3b ExCL port may still be in test. Since the original requestor is at an AT&T site, these ports may be available under special terms internal to that organization. I do technical work for Franz, but don't have marketing details. You can contact Franz Inc at (415)769-5656.
