Apple maintains ftp servers at:
 ftp.apple.com       [130.43.2.3]    ; General Apple ftp site
 cambridge.apple.com [134.149.2.3]   ; Macintosh Common Lisp

Other ftp sites filled with Macintosh software include

Several implementations of Scheme are included with the MCL 2.0
cd-rom, including the freeware SIOD (uses just 50Kbytes)
the shareware Gambit, and a demo of the commercial MacScheme.
Read the file lisp-faq.hqx available by ftp from
cambridge.apple.com:/pub/MCL2/contrib/lisp-faq.hqx
for descriptions and ftp instructions on getting these and
other fine lisp-related languages.

For non-lisp (but Macintosh-related questions), send mail
to info-mac@sumex-aim.stanford.edu. You can subscribe to the
info-mac digest with a message to info-mac-request@sumex-aim.stanford.edu
