Depending on what you want to do with it you could try the *free*
Poplog system, which includes an incremental compiler for Common
Lisp as defined in Steele's book, CLTL2, with exceptions documented in

    ftp://ftp.cs.bham.ac.uk/pub/dist/poplog/doc/lisphelp/bugs

(Poplog used to be a commercial product, though the PC version was never
sold separately, as far as I know.)

The version that runs under NT/Windows lacks features of the unix
versions (i.e. graphics, and some system calls) but as far as I know
almost everything else works. The lisp is there as a saved image on top
of the basic poplog system (which includes Pop-11 and the editor Ved).

All the versions of Poplog can be fetched from here
    http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/freepoplog.html
or
    ftp://ftp.cs.bham.ac.uk/pub/dist/poplog/freepoplog.html

The system sources are included in the tar files for the Unix
versions. The sources for the PC version of Poplog are available
separately in here

    ftp://ftp.cs.bham.ac.uk/pub/dist/poplog/new/pcwnt-sources.tar.gz

Have fun.
