Assuming Robert meant he wants Bill's stuff included and permission
clarified instead of throwing it out, I heartily agree.

I don't know what state maxima 5.6 (pre GPL?) was in, but I have no
desire to even think about starting over and making it compile again
on cmucl or any other ANSI CL Lisp.  I don't think 5.6 worked in
anything other than gcl.
