In the past a company called Ufasoft posted here advertizing a Common Lisp
implementation. There were a few small threads: people trying it and such.

Something awfully familiar about that [1]> prompt.
It was shareware: try for 14 days, buy for 50 bucks or whatever.

In 2005 Robert Ulh posted his suspicion that it's using CLISP. Same
macroexpansion of LOOP, and :CLISP in *FEATURES*.

Now if you go to their page:

  Licensed under GPL

  Ufasoft Common Lisp is fork of GNU CLISP implementation.

  Principal difference is that CLISP core implemented on C language. Ufasoft
  Common Lisp keeps most of CLISP's .lisp files unmodified, but reimplements
  the core on C++.

You can't download anything to look at; you have to buy. I seriously doubt
the ``reimplemented'' that monster in C++.  At best they probably massaged
it to compile with a C++ compiler.
