Does anyone know if any of these are still available for OpenVMS VAX?

Part of the problem will be licensing, I think that I have copies of VAX Lisp, but I don?t
think that it?s included with the hobbyist PAKs.

917AA VAX LISP/VMS [LISP030] or [LISP031] was on VMS Consolidated
Software Distribution CD sets from at least Jan-1990 to May-1993
I have [LISP031] that I must have gotten from a CD set that was
released in that time frame.

I don't know what "available" means in this context. But:
VAX Lisp wasn't among the set of hobbyist licenses I got from HP last August. They did
send me one when I asked, though.
ok

How about NIL? There are some bits and pieces from ITS backups, but I
don't know if there's enough to get it started, much less run a real
application like Macsyma.
Off on a tangent, I see T supports VAX and there was a T revival project
some time ago.

If going for something non-VAX, Lisp is available on Multics.
I?m feeling a bit frustrated at the moment, I?ve run into an interesting issue with
SecureCRT on iOS, and emacs on Multics. The key for ? and ? works fine from the command
line, but not from emacs. I?ve verified this with both the on device ?keyboard?, and a
real Apple ?Magic? keyboard.

This was posted on the Multics thread in February.
Eric Swenson got the original-ish MACSYMA built and running in ITS.
It's frankensteined together from a mix of source and FASL files from
ITS, Lisp machine Macsyma sources, etc.
You might contact him.? Email me off list, and I'll forward his contact
info if you can't contact him thru the
Multicians list.? I would imagine it's not for the faint hearted to get
it going if you do not have experience with
Lisp.
I played with it quite a lot in 75 on the Multics system? It was like
I'd discovered that Hal9000 was real, as everyone
probably? knows.
I have somewhere a complimentary copy from the people who licensed it
and had a version for the x86.? I think
4 of the original people on the project worked for the company which did
it, and they were very nice if your
were a real multician.? But that won't have any sources, just an install
for the system you used it on.
It would be great for someone to do that if it worked and you can get it
to run there.
thanks
