A long time ago, in comp.ai (I think), someone posted the FTP address for 
CMU Common Lisp, which is a Common Lisp in C that runs under Mach (what a 
surprise).  The code was apparently written for the IBM RT but should port 
to other Machs (if I remember correctly) without too much trouble.  
Porting to non-Mach environments sounded like it would be much tougher.

I'd love to get my hands on that FTP address again, too, as Mach is now 
being ported to the Macintosh II family.
