We would like to start experimenting with OPS-5, and have heard
that there is a public domain version available, presumably from
C-M-U.  

Any help we can get on the following would be appreciated:

Where is the best source for the P-D OPS-5?
Would we be wasting our time to try the P-D version?
   If so, which one can we try on an evaluation basis?
What else is needed to make it work?
   If LISP is required, can we operate on a limited subset
   such as XLISP?  If not, what LISP would be easiest to
   integrate on an evaluation basis?

Also, any recommendations on readable and usable guides to 
OPS-5 will be appreciated!

Thanks!
