MCL comes with a CLtL1 compatibility package. It doesn't make everything
work exactly as in CLtL1, but it does provide the LISP & USER packages
(CLtL2 renames these to COMMON-LISP & COMMON-LISP-USER), and provides
CLtL1 versions of LISP:IN-PACKAGE, LISP:FUNCTIONP, and LISP:CHAR-BITS &
friends. You might try evaluating the following two forms before loading
your code:

(require "LISP-PACKAGE")
(in-package :user)
