The LISP version of Classic

LISP was the first language that was used to implement Classic. The LISP version of Classic is still the most powerful. It has role hierarchies, pruning, same-as and role-inverses in addition to the capabilities of NeoClassic. This version of Classic is useful for LISP research work.
