PC-LISP is an implementation of the Franz Lisp dialect for MS-DOS PCs by Peter Ashwood-Smith. Version 2.11 was released on May 15, 1986. It can still be found on old abandonware and shareware download sites. Ashwood-Smith says of his interpreter: "PC-LISP is a small implementation of LISP for ANY MS-DOS machine. While small, it is capable of running a pretty good subset of Franz LISP.

While small, it is capable of running a pretty good subset of Franz LISP. " Note that the Franz LISP dialect was the immediate, portable successor to the ITS version of Maclisp and is perhaps the closest thing to the LISP in the Steven Levy book ' as is practical to operate. PC-LISP runs well in DOS emulators and on modern Windows versions. Because PC-LISP implements Franz LISP, it is a dynamically scoped predecessor to modern Common LISP. This is therefore an historically important implementation.
