        Does anyone know of LISP implementations for IBM 370--3033--308x?

Reminds me of an old joke:
        How many IBM machines does it take to run LISP?

        Answer: two -- one to send the input to the PDP-10, one
                to get the output back.

Well, I used Lisp on a 360 once, but I certainly wouldn't recommend
that version (I don't remember where it came from anyway -- the authors
were probably so embarrassed they wanted to remain anonymous).  It
was, of course, a batch system, and its only output mode was "uglyprint" --
no matter what the input looked like, the output would just be printed
120 columns to a line.
