There is an XLISP 2.0 which works on the Mac II.  I got it from Mass
Mac and Electric and passed it on to a few people.  Unfortunately,
Mass Mac and Electric appears to have passed on, as well.  (It hasn't
answered the phone in about a month.)  Someone to whom I sent it said
he would forward it to sumex, but I don't know if he ever did.  I
haven't checked, but I'd count it as more than likely that the Boston
Computer Society has it in their Mac software collection.

     On two occasions I have been asked, "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put
     into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?"
