XLISP 2.0 _is_ available on BIX, at least the last time I tried.  David
Betz, the author also appears in a conference area on xlisp.  Here
is what I did to get 2.0:
1) In BIX, go to the file section
:join listings

2) In the file section, change your working area to the LISP file area
A LISP

(The A is the change area command)

3) In the LISP area of the file section, list out the file names available for
downloading
L
(L should list the files)


4) For the Mac, XLISP 2.0 was in a file called something like:
xlisp20.sit      (SIT is Macish for a stuffit archive)

When I was last on, I saw versions for IBM PCs, Atari STs, Commodore
Amigas, Apple Macs, and an ARChive (PC ARC format) with the C source.
There were also a lot of other lisp-type stuff, as well as an
early version of D. Betz's latest project, XScheme.

Note: these files are large -- it took over 30 minutes to download
XLISP for the Mac.

5) The text discussion on XLISP is in the lisp conference:
(Quit files section)
Q
: join lisp/xlisp

Hope this helps. 
I'm writing this from memory, so I apologize if I'm wrong about anything.
-Eric
