Well, I grabbed the version of Xlisp off bikini.  It doesn't seem to have
been tested at all on a UNIX host; at least I can't get it to run.  I had
to make two minor changes to get it to compile:

unixstuf.c, line 334: change xltoplevel to xltoplevel()
xlisp.h, line 423: add line 
#define SEEK_CUR                1

So it compiles, but it dies in the printing routines.  It seems to be a
problem with pointers not being defined, but I don't have much experience
beating useful information out of dbx.  Anyone had any success here?
