Hmmmmmmm......  There used to be something from Apple on one of their
old contributed software volumes diskettes called microlisp.  It was a tiny 
LISP interpreter written in Applesoft basic.  It worked but was _slow_ and
had a _very_ limited amount of memory.  XLISP is a much more powerful LISP
interpreter written in C.  It used to run under CP/M but I don't know if newer
versions do.  It has its own news group (comp.lang.lisp.x I think) where you
can probably find out more info.  I see no reason it couldn't be compiled for
a //gs using ORCA C.  Hope this was some help.
