Yes- akcl, Austin Kyoto Common LISP is available for Unix machines.  I use it
to run Genetic Programming.  Docummentation and debugger are everything you
would expect for free :-( , but compatibility to Steele/Common LISP standard
is excellent, and language is extensible in C.  It is about equally as fast
as Allegro CL and Lucid, *but* if you are running GP, there is no FAST-EVAL
written for it and I am far from being enuf of a LISP guru to write one.  If
anyone out there in GP land has one, or the ambition to write one, PLEASE LET
ME KNOW!

From the akcl README file:

OBTAINING SOURCES:
-----------------
* There are source files on rascal.ics.utexas.edu:pub/akcl-XX.tar.Z
You probably want the highest XX version number.  For example
akcl-1-605.tar.Z would allow you to build the version 1-605 of AKCL.  In
the following this compressed tar file is simply referred to as
akcl.tar.Z.   You will also need to obtain the original kcl distribution
of June 1987.  That is referred to as kcl.tar.Z and is also available
on rascal.   An alternate source for these files is cli.com:akcl/akcl-XX.tar.Z
In general the bandwidth to rascal is higher than to cli.com.
Rascal's address is rascal.ics.utexas.edu (128.83.138.20).

* If you cannot obtain these files via internet, a cartridge tape (sun
compatible) or diskettes containing akcl, and kcl sources may be
obtained for $250 US plus shipping, from J. Schelter, 1715
Barnswallow, Autin TX 78746.  This would be in standard tar format.
Some machines on which akcl compiles are 386 under System V (eg
Microport), Sun's (sparc,sun3's), HP under hpux and 4.3.  An older
version of sources is also available from Austin Code Works, 11100
Leafwood Ln., Austin TX 78750.  Tel:(512) 258-0785.

Good luck!
