I recently purchased a 80386-based machine (AST 386C) and am looking
for a version of LISP to run on it.  I am not after something as
elaborate as the full-blown Common LISPs from companies such as Lucid
and Gold Hill that cost $1000+ and require 3Mb+ of memory.  On the
other hand, I would like to be able to take advantage of more than
640Kb of memory, a feature that most of the low end LISPs seem to
lack.

I'd appreciate any suggestions for a relatively inexpensive (<$500)
LISP that can use expanded (or extended) memory.  (Is XLISP able
to use such memory?)  Similarity to Common LISP is a plus, but 
complete compatibility is not a requirement.

thanks in advance,
