For what it's worth there is a very good public domain
implementation of Common Lisp available from archive sites
on the Internet. Kyoto Common Lisp is written in C, has a
good user's manual, comes with complete source and
compiles easily on Berkley-derived UNIX systems (at least,
we haven't tried it on Sys-V machines). We have
standardized to this version so that all our machines run
a single version, and the price is great (ie zero dollars
at a site near you).

For the rabid among you who continue to read more into my
postings than is there, this is a public service
announcement and has nothing to do with whether the above
rumour is true or not. If you would like a public domain
version of Lisp, with source, you should check this out.
We use it here at McGill and like it. If you are happy
with your NeXT products, ignore this posting.
