Franz Inc. has a symbolics-compatible flavors package included in its
versions of Franz Lisp (after Opus 42.0).

I don't know much about the U of Maryland's system, but I believe they
ship an entire Franz Lisp system (Opus 38) which includes their flavors
package.  The contact used to be Liz Allen (liz@tove.umd.edu).

Other extensions to UC Berkeley's Franz Lisp put in by Franz Inc.
include a common lisp compatible package system, multiple value returns,
keywords, and hash tables.
