I asked a similar question a week or so ago (I want to run OPS5 on a
PC) and have received only pointers to Golden Lisp.

One reply however did mention XLISP which is based on Common lisp and
has object oriented extensions.  I managed to get OPS5 to load ok
 - after much hacking - common lisp has things in it that wheren't
there when I last used lisp :-(, but unfortunately it doesn't run OK.

You can get a version of XLISP (for PC, amiga, mac & unix) from a
site with an FTP number of 128.193.32.1.  I didn't write the name
down but found it by searching the list of sites that'll accept
anonymous FTP requests and looking for LISP.  The version there is #2
which is later than that at CLUTX.CLARKSON.EDU which has version
#1.7.  It has lots of documentation and seems like rather a nice system.

Hope this is useful
Giovanni
