I got it here and downloaded it without problems. It runs fine. It looks
like a pretty nice LISP; the only other one I had was XLISP. XLISP,
compiled under DeSmet C (which produces particularly small, fast code,
but small memory model only) took 43 seconds to do an Ackerman's
function benchmark; PC-LISP (which uses large memory) launches much
faster and ran the benchmark in 15 seconds. Looks like an acceptable
performer. Now maybe it's time to start learning LISP.
