I don't know what the U of U distributes, but their only connection to
HP's original Common Lisp is that PSL was used to bootstrap it up. As
far as the HP Lisp not having foreign function support, it actually had
better facilities than the early Lucid releases for calling other languages
from Lisp. You could not however, call Lisp from another language.
