   You may also like to know that the FreeBSD version from Paul Werkowski
   (http://www.mv.com:80/users/pw/lisp/) now runs on Linux too.  (Perhaps
   the changes were taken from the Linux port?)  In any case, I find it
   works a bit better than the Linux port, and it doesn't hang on (/ 2.0
   0.0).  It does have some minor problems with handling floating point
   traps, but it doesn't hang and always returns the right results.

   It's wonderful!

Somehow CMU CL for Linux dissapeared from
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/Incoming and never appeared in
devel/lang/lisp. Makes me wonder.

How do I run FreeBSD CMU CL on Linux? just download and run or
there are some tricks to be done?
