I've got 1.4. This is public domain. o MIT-Scheme. This is ?freeware?. I seem to recall a copyright notice in the source headers, but it is similar to GNU copyrights. I have a copy (not sure which version at them moment). This is a lexically-scoped version of LISP from MIT. o Franz LISP. I don't know the cost, but it does run under VMS. o NIL (New Implementation of LISP). This is what DOE-Macsyma runs on. Getting DOE-Macsyma from National Energy Software Center costs ~ $2000-$4000 for commercial sites. Less for educational sites. I hear this one is deadly slow. There is also a LISP interpreter of sorts in the GNU Emacs editor. This is the only LISP programming I've done, so I can't argue the strengths and weaknesses of any.
