Common Lisp interpreter for DOS?

I am using CLISP on my linux machine to learn the language. I would also like to have a Common Lisp interpreter on my 486 machine, DOS 6.22. Was there ever a CLISP version for DOS? Looking for something free and that will fit on a 1.44MB floppy.
Thanks for any help. Skippy

I never had a machine to run it, but there was a PC-Lisp by Peter Asherwood-Smith for that class of machines. You might be able to find a copy somewhere.
It would be good for a bit of nostalgia. It wouldn't be good for a development environment.

I once tried
SSCL in DOSBox, there are also non-free versions e.g.
GCLISP. When I was porting
ccmake (part of the
cmake) to DOS, for a moment I had an intention to port a mature CL implementation (such as SBCL) to DOS, but I resigned from it because of its complexity.
Note aside: I had found and used
Ufasoft for Win CE.

Just got around to trying SSCL. Just what I was looking for. Thanks
