There's a great way to learn Lisp that, I think, will run on
classic C= hardware
http://ifarchive.org/if-archive/games/zcode/lists.z5
Infocom _did_ produce a "z5" interpreter. It's one of the later
ones. In any case, lists.z5 is a Lisp tutorial wrapped up in
the framework of a text adventure. I've run through it, top to
bottom. You _can_ learn the rudiments of Lisp with it.
