- Just to avoid any confusion, what I have is a Franz Lisp, with
- compiler, that runs in 386BSD and that (because it compiles to C and
- replaces some .s files with .c) should be more portable than ordinary
- Franz. Franz Lisp is a particular dialect of Lisp. It's similar
- to MacLisp. If you just want _a_ Lisp for 386BSD, a number of other
- ones (eg, AKCL, several Schemes) are available.
-
- I am going to make this Franz availabel for ftp. But various things
- (such as a disk failure) are getting in the way.
