An addition to Simon Leinen's additions to Barry Margolin's response
to Martin Earl's question:

* There is another UK Lisp provided as part of Poplog. Poplog is a
  commercial product developed at Sussex University and marketed by
  Integral Solutions Ltd worldwide and Computational Functions Inc
  in the USA and Canada. Both give massive educational discounts,
  and UK academics get special low prices direct from Sussex
  University.

  Poplog Common Lisp conforms to CLTL first edition and is one of
  four incrementally compiled languages included in Poplog, the
  others being Prolog, Standard ML and Pop-11. (You don't have to
  have them all loaded when you run Poplog. E.g. Poplog Lisp starts
  up needing less than 2 MBytes). A version of CLOS (PCL) is
  included in the "contrib" directory. Version 14 runs on
  Sun3&4 under SunOS >= 4.1 and includes a general interface to
  X11R4 allowing widget sets to be dynamically linked in as required
  on Suns, though there are problems with this on DECStations.
