"UtiLisp, which is not well known outside Japan, is a Lisp dialect of classical MacLisp: eval top loop, shallow binding, dynamic scope rule interpreter, with macro and readmacro facilities.

There are four versions of UtiLisp:

1. UtiLisp on main frame machines like Hitac M series, Facom M/S series, IBM 3000 series
2. UtiLisp68 on MC68000 (24 bit address) for Sun 1, Macintosh etc.
3. UtiLisp32 on MC68010, 68020 (32 bit address) for Sun 2, 3 and on Vax etc.
4. UtiLisp/C on SPARC for Sun 4 and Sparc Station." [Wada 1990]
