Well, the vanilla 2.1 can be compiled with a 32 bit compiler, but I
wouldn't recommend vanilla 2.1 because of the numerous bugs. I have
for some time distributed a bug-fixed and enhanced version of XLISP
which uses the Phar Lap DOS-Extender to run in protected mode (using
extended memory). I have also successfully compiled XLISP using the
"free" GCC compiler and protected mode extender by DJ Delorie at
grape.ecs.clarkson.edu, but the Phar Lap version does run better since
it will co-exist with QEMM or 386/MAX, allows the SYSTEM function, and
is faster. 

Anyone can receive the current hacked sources, documentation, and
executables directly from me via US Mail (sorry, no ftp). Eventually
Jeff Prothero (jsp@milton.u.washington.edu) will be a clearinghouse for
XLISP and modifications, but at the moment I am busy incorporating extensions
(all conditionally included) from several sources.

Anyway, to get the current files, send a single formatted high density
floppy (either 5.25 or 3.5") in a stamped, self-addressed mailer to:

Including a note specifying that you want XLISP:

1. Sources
2. Documentation (either ASCII text, PostScript, or WordPerfect 5.1).
3. Executable (specify processor and numeric coprocessor, if any).
