Okay. I think both you and I may have made a mistake about the product names.

(I just corrected mine, which was in this same comment. Corrected info below.)

I had tried out Allegro Common Lisp (which is from Franz, Inc.) and LispWorks Common Lisp, some years ago.

Maybe sometime after Peter Seibel's book Practical Common Lisp came out.

I had also tried out GNU Lisp at some point.

Yeah. There are two. I definitely used Allegro, which apparently is from Franz. I remember that the other commercial one was very expensive.

It’s been like 20 years ago. :)

There are two companies: Franz Inc. and LispWorks Ltd.

The Lisp development product of Franz Inc. is Allegro CL. https://franz.com/products/allegro-common-lisp/

The Lisp development product of LispWorks Ltd. is LispWorks. https://www.lispworks.com/products/lispworks.html

Both are kind of expensive. Both offer also academic licenses.

"Franz Lisp" does not exist as a product since the 80s.

Both Allegro CL and LispWorks are sold since the mid/end 80s and are still being maintained and sold.
