Golden Common-LISP
Originally introduced in 1984 for DOS machines, Golden Common-LISP (GCLISP) is an interpreted implementation of Common Lisp, early versions were quite far from implementing the full standard and were dynamically scoped rather than lexically but with release 3 in 1988 the system had achieved a more or less full CL compatibility. The system is still being sold in a budget version for DOS called "Golden Common-Lisp SE", that is intended for educational use.
