[Jerome Ibanes]

I think a partial (maybe complete?) implementation of franz lisp can
be found there:
http://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~fateman/lisp-opus38.92.tar

best described there:
While I'm pointing to old software, here's where you can get a free
copy of the final (1982?) university release of Franz Lisp Opus 38.92
for VAX. I don't know why you would want this old stuff, but the
university software distribution office has closed and they left a
copy with me.

looks like my lucky day?
