Has anybody got any version of XLISP to compile under CP/M-80 using
the generally lame 'C' compilers available in that environment ?
How about any OTHER small language in a high-level language ?

A binary of V1.1 is available in SIGM Volume 118 as compiled by
Sir Betz using Aztec and some assembly.  Someone shipped me a UUENCODEd
binary of V1.2 in which he hand-coded a bunch of stuff for because MIX C
loses, but it won't execute on my system.  I have an old binary of
some experiment Betz did called "Tiny XLISP" that looks closest to
V1.4... but alas, no source for that either.

I tried building both V1.1 and V1.2 on a VAX and won with no effort,
but the same code under Whitesmith's C, C/80, or MIX C loses miserably.

Regrettably,
